Psalms 118

Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,

Let Israel now say

Let the house of Aaron now say

Now let those who fear Yahweh say

Out of my distress, I called on Yah.

Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid.

Yahweh is on my side among those who help me.

It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,

It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,

All the nations surrounded me,

They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me.

They surrounded me like bees.

You pushed me back hard, to make me fall,

Yah is my strength and song.

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous.

The right hand of Yahweh is exalted!

I will not die, but live,

Yah has punished me severely,

Open to me the gates of righteousness.

This is the gate of Yahweh;

I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me,

The stone which the builders rejected

This is Yahweh’s doing.

This is the day that Yahweh has made.

Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh!

Blessed is he who comes in Yahweh’s name!

Yahweh is God, and he has given us light.

You are my God, and I will give thanks to you.

Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
