Tehillim 118 - Tehillim translated into english
1. O give thanks to the Lord; for he is good; because his loving kindness endures for ever! 2. Let Israel now say, that his loving kindness endures for ever! 3. Let the house of Aaron now say, that his loving kindness endures for ever! 4. Let now those who fear the Lord say, that his loving kindness endures for ever! 5. In distress I called upon the Lord; the Lord answered me, and set me free! 6. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear; what can man do to me? 7. The Lord takes my part with those who help me; therefore I shall gaze upon those who hate me! 8. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man! 9. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in princes! 10. All nations surround me; but in the name of the Lord I will cut them off! 11. They surround me; indeed, they surround me; but in the name of the Lord I will cut them of! 12. They surround me like bees; they are quenched like a fire of thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will cut them off! 13. You pushed me hard that I might fall; but the Lord helped me! 14. The Lord is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation! 15. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the Lord does bravely! 16. The right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord does bravely! 17. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord! 18. The Lord has chastised me severely; but he has not given me over to death! 19. Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord; 20. This is the gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter! 21. I will give you thanks; for you have answered me, and you have become my salvation! 22. The stone which the builders rejected has become the head stone of the corner! 23. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes! 24. This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it! 25. Save us, we beseech you, O Lord! O Lord, we beseech you, send us prosperity! 26. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; we have blessed you from the house of the Lord. 27. God is the Lord, who has shown us light; bind the sacrifice with cords, to the horns of the altar. 28. You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, I will exalt you. 29. O give thanks to the Lord; for he is good; for his loving kindness endures for ever.
