PSALM 118

Yahweh’s Lovingkindness Endures Forever

^1aGive thanks to Yahweh, for ^bHe is good;

For His lovingkindness endures forever.

²Oh let ^aIsrael say,

“His lovingkindness endures forever.”

³Oh let the ^ahouse of Aaron say,

“His lovingkindness endures forever.”

⁴Oh let those ^awho ¹fear Yahweh say,

“His lovingkindness endures forever.”

⁵From my ^adistress I called upon Yah;

Yah answered me and ^bset me in a large place.

⁶Yahweh is ^afor me; I will ^bnot fear;

^cWhat can man do to me?

⁷Yahweh is for me ^aamong those who help me;

Therefore I will ^blook in triumph on those who hate me.

⁸It is ^abetter to take refuge in Yahweh

Than to trust in man.

⁹It is ^abetter to take refuge in Yahweh

Than to trust in nobles.

¹⁰All nations ^asurrounded me;

In the name of Yahweh I will surely ^bcut them off.

¹¹They ^asurrounded me, indeed, they surrounded me;

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

¹²They surrounded me ^alike bees;

They were extinguished as a ^bfire of thorns;

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

¹³You ^apushed me down violently to make me fall,

But Yahweh ^bhelped me.

^14aYah is my strength and song,

And He has become ^bmy salvation.
