Psalms 118
The LORD Is on My Side
1Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his lovingkindness is forever.
2Let Israel now say, for his lovingkindness is forever.
3Let the house of Aaron now say, for his lovingkindness is forever.
4Let those who fear the LORD now say, for his lovingkindness is forever.
5From the strait I called Yah; Yah answered me in the broad place.
6The LORD is for me; I will not fear. What can mana do to me?
7The LORD is for me among my helpers, and I will look on those who hate me.
8It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
9It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
10All nations surrounded me; in the name of the LORD, surely I will cut them off.
11They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me; in the name of the LORD, surely I will cut them off.
12They surrounded me like bees; they were quenched like a fire of thorns; in the name of the LORD, surely I will cut them off.
13You pushed me hard to fall, but the LORD helped me.
14My strength and song is Yah, and he has become for me salvation (Yeshuah).
15A voice of joyful shout and salvation (Yeshuah) is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
16The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
17I will not die, but I will live, and I will recount the works of Yah.
18Yah disciplined me severely, but to death he did not give me.
19Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks to Yah.
20This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous will enter into it.
21I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and you have become for me salvation (Yeshuah).
22The stone the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.
23From the LORD this came to be; it is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25I beseech you, O LORD, save nowb! I beseech you, O LORD, make prosper now!
26Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD; we bless you from the house of the LORD.
27God is the LORD, and he has given us light; bind the feastc with cords, up to the horns of the altar.
28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; my God, I will exalt you.
29Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his lovingkindness is forever.
