Psalm 118 | Thanksgiving and praise

1 O give thanks unto Yahweh; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Let them now that fear Yahweh say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5 I called upon Yah in distress: Yah answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 Yahweh is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 Yahweh taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in Yahweh than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in Yahweh than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of Yahweh will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of Yahweh I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Yahweh I will destroy them.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but Yahweh helped me.
14 Yah is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of Yahweh doeth valiantly.
16 The right hand of Yahweh is exalted: the right hand of Yahweh doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Yah.
18 Yah hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise Yah:
20 This gate of Yahweh, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23 This is Yahweh's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which Yahweh hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Yahweh: O Yahweh, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Yahweh: we have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.
27 El is Yahweh, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my El, and I will praise thee: thou art my Elohim, I will exalt thee.
29 O give thanks unto Yahweh; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
