1 | O give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good; his steadfast love endures for ever! | ← Processional Hymn for the Feast of Tabernacles. Psalm 118(v117) | |
2 | Let Israel say, "His steadfast love endures for ever." | ||
3 | Let the house of Aaron say, "His steadfast love endures for ever." | ||
4 | Let those who fear Yahweh say, "His steadfast love endures for ever." | ||
5 | Out of my distress I called on Yahweh; Yahweh answered me and set me free. | ||
6 | With Yahweh on my side I do not fear. What can man do to me? | ||
7 | Yahweh is on my side to help me; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. | ||
8 | It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to put confidence in man. | ||
9 | It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to put confidence in princes. | ||
10 | All nations surrounded me; in the name of Yahweh I cut them off! | ||
11 | They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of Yahweh I cut them off! | ||
12 | They surrounded me like bees, they blazed like a fire of thorns; in the name of Yahweh I cut them off! | ||
13 | I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but Yahweh helped me. | ||
14 | Yahweh is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. | ||
15 | Hark, glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous: "The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly, | ||
16 | the right hand of Yahweh is exalted, the right hand of Yahweh does valiantly!" | ||
17 | I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of Yahweh. | ||
18 | Yahweh has chastened me sorely, but he has not given me over to death. | ||
19 | Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to Yahweh. | ||
20 | This is the gate of Yahweh; the righteous shall enter through it. | ||
21 | I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. | ||
22 | The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. | ||
23 | This is Yahweh's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. | ||
24 | This is the day which Yahweh has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. | ||
25 | Save us, we beseech you, O Yahweh! O Yahweh, we beseech you, give us success! | ||
26 | Blessed be he who enters in the name of Yahweh! We bless you from the house of Yahweh. | ||
27 | Yahweh is God, and he has given us light. Bind the festal procession with branches, up to the horns of the altar! | ||
28 | You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God, I will extol you. | ||
29 | O give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever! | ||
