Psalms 118

CLV(i) 1 Acclaim Yahweh, for He is good! For His benignity is eonian." 2 Let Israel surely say, His benignity is eonian." 3 Let the house of Aaron surely say, His benignity is eonian." 4 Let those fearing Yahweh surely say, His benignity is eonian." 5 From my constriction, I called on Yah; Yah answered me with a wide place." 6 Yahweh is for me; I shall not fear What a human may do to me. 7 Yahweh is for me as my Helper, And I shall see the fate of those hating me." 8 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh Than to trust in a human. 9 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh Than to trust in patrons. 10 All nations, they have surrounded me; It was with the Name of Yahweh That I cut them off." 11 They surrounded me; indeed they surrounded me; It was with the Name of Yahweh That I cut them off. 12 They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished like a fire of thorns. It was with the Name of Yahweh That I cut them off. 13 I was pushed, yea pushed so as to fall, Yet Yahweh, He helped me." 14 Yah is my Strength and my Melody, And He became mine for salvation." 15 The sound of jubilant song and salvation Comes from the tents of the righteous:Yahweh's right hand does valiantly; 16 Yahweh's right hand is exalted; Yahweh's right hand does valiantly. 17 I shall not die but shall live, And I shall recount the deeds of Yah." 18 Yah has disciplined, yea disciplined me, Yet He has not given me over to death." 19 Open the gates of righteousness to me; I shall enter through them and acclaim Yah. 20 This is the gate belonging to Yahweh; The righteous, they shall enter through it." 21 I am acclaiming You, for You have answered me, And You became mine for salvation." 22 The stone which the builders rejected, It came to be for the head of the corner." 23 From Yahweh came this; It is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day Yahweh has made; Let us exult and rejoice in it. 25 Oh Yahweh, do save us! Oh Yahweh, do prosper us!" 26 Blessed in the Name of Yahweh is he who is coming; We bless you from the House of Yahweh. 27 El is Yahweh, and He shall enlighten us. Bind the way of celebration with entwined boughs Unto the horns of the altar." 28 You are my El, and I am acclaiming You; My Elohim, I am exalting You." 29 Acclaim Yahweh, for He is good! For His benignity is eonian."
