1Give thanks to the LORD , for he is good ,[#118:1 or GOD in all caps is from the Hebrew יהוה Yahweh except when otherwise noted as being from the short form יה Yah.]
for his loving kindness endures forever .
2Let Israel now say
that his loving kindness endures forever .
3Let the house of Aaron now say
that his loving kindness endures forever .
4Now let those who fear the LORD say
that his loving kindness endures forever .
5Out of my distress , I called on the LORD .[#118:5 Hebrew: יה Yah]
The LORD answered me with freedom.
6The LORD is on my side. I will not be afraid .
What can man do to me ?
7The LORD is on my side amongst those who help me .
Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me .
8It is better to take refuge in the LORD ,
than to put confidence in man .
9It is better to take refuge in the LORD ,
than to put confidence in princes .
10All the nations surrounded me ,
but in the LORD ’s name I cut them off .
11They surrounded me , yes , they surrounded me .
In the LORD ’s name I indeed cut them off .
12They surrounded me like bees .
They are quenched like the burning thorns .
In the LORD ’s name I cut them off .
13You pushed me back hard, to make me fall ,
but the LORD helped me .
14The LORD is my strength and song .[#118:14 Hebrew: יה Yah]
He has become my salvation .
15The voice of rejoicing and salvation 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 live ,
and declare the LORD ’s works .
18The LORD has punished me severely ,[#118:18 Hebrew: יה Yah]
but he has not given me over to death .
19Open to me the gates of righteousness .
I will enter into them .
I will give thanks to the LORD .
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 have become my salvation .
22The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone .
23This is the LORD ’s doing.
It is marvellous in our eyes .
24This is the day that the LORD has made .
We will rejoice and be glad in it !
25Save us now , we beg you , LORD !
LORD , we beg you , send prosperity now .
26Blessed is he who comes in the LORD ’s name !
We have blessed you out of the LORD ’s house .
27The LORD is God , and he has given us light.
Bind the sacrifice with cords , even to the horns of the altar .
28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you .
You are my God, I will exalt you .
29Oh give thanks to the LORD , for he is good ,
for his loving kindness endures forever .
