| 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! | |
