118:1 Give thanks to Adonai; for he is good, for his grace continues forever.
118:2 Now let Isra’el say, “His grace continues forever.”
118:3 Now let the house of Aharon say, “His grace continues forever.”
118:4 Now let those who fear Adonai say, “His grace continues forever.”
118:5 From my being hemmed in I called on Yah; he answered and gave me more room.
118:6 With Adonai on my side, I fear nothing — what can human beings do to me?
118:7 With Adonai on my side as my help, I will look with triumph at those who hate me.
118:8 It is better to take refuge in Adonai than to trust in human beings;
118:9 better to take refuge in Adonai than to put one’s trust in princes.
118:10 The nations all surrounded me; in the name of Adonai I cut them down.
118:11 They surrounded me on every side in the name of Adonai I cut them down.
118:12 They surrounded me like bees but were extinguished [as quickly] as a fire in thorns; in the name of Adonai I cut them down.
118:13 You pushed me hard to make me fall, but Adonai helped me.
118:14 Yah is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
118:15 The sound of rejoicing and victory is heard in the tents of the righteous: “Adonai’s right hand struck powerfully!
118:16 Adonai’s right hand is raised in triumph! Adonai’s right hand struck powerfully!”
118:17 I will not die; no, I will live and proclaim the great deeds of Yah!
118:18 Yah disciplined me severely, but did not hand me over to death.
118:19 Open the gates of righteousness for me; I will enter them and thank Yah.
118:20 This is the gate of Adonai; the righteous can enter it.
118:21 I am thanking you because you answered me; you became my salvation.
118:22 The very rock that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone!
118:23 This has come from Adonai, and in our eyes it is amazing.
118:24 This is the day Adonai has made, a day for us to rejoice and be glad.
118:25 Please, Adonai! Save us! Please, Adonai! Rescue us!
118:26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Adonai. We bless you from the house of Adonai.
118:27 Adonai is God, and he gives us light. Join in the pilgrim festival with branches all the way to the horns of the altar.
118:28 You are my God, and I thank you. You are my God; I exalt you.
118:29 Give thanks to Adonai; for he is good, for his grace continues forever.
