“His lovingkindness endures forever.”

Psa 118:5

From my distress I called upon Yah;

Yah answered me and set me in a large place.

Psa 118:6

Yahweh is for me; I will not fear;

What can man do to me?

Psa 118:7

Yahweh is for me among those who help me;

Therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

All nations surrounded me;

In the name of Yahweh I will surely cut them off.

They surrounded me, indeed, they surrounded me;

In the name of Yahweh I will surely cut them off.

They surrounded me like bees;

They were extinguished as a fire of thorns;

In the name of Yahweh I will surely cut them off.

But Yahweh helped me.

Psa 118:14

Yah is my strength and song,

And He has become my salvation.

The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;

The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.

The right hand of Yahweh is exalted;

The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.

I will not die; indeed I will live,

And recount the works of Yah.

Yah has disciplined me severely,

But He has not given me over to death.

Open to me the gates of righteousness;

I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to Yah.

Psa 118:20

This is the gate of Yahweh;

The righteous will enter through it.

Psa 118:21

I shall give thanks to You, for You have answered me,

And You have become my salvation.

The stone which the builders rejected

Has become the chief corner stone.

This is from Yahweh;

It is marvelous in our eyes.

Psa 118:24

This is the day which Yahweh has made;

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

O Yahweh, save!

O Yahweh, succeed!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of Yahweh;

We have blessed you from the house of Yahweh.

Yahweh is God, and He has given us light;

Bind the festival sacrifice with cords [fn]to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I give thanks to You;

You are my God, I exalt You.
