(Book of Psalms)
Chapter 118

Tehilim 117

1
'O give thanks unto HaShem, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
2
So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever,
3
So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
4
So let them now that fear HaShem say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
5
Out of my straits I called upon HaShem; He answered me with great enlargement.
6
HaShem is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
7
HaShem is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that hate me.
8
It is better to take refuge in HaShem than to trust in man.
9
It is better to take refuge in HaShem than to trust in princes.
10
All nations compass me about; verily, in the name of HaShem I will cut them off.
11
They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; verily, in the name of HaShem I will cut them off.
12
They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; verily, in the name of HaShem I will cut them off.
13
Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but HaShem helped me.
14
HaShem is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.
15
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of HaShem doeth valiantly.
16
The right hand of HaShem is exalted; the right hand of HaShem doeth valiantly.
17
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of HaShem.
18
HaShem hath chastened me sore; but He hath not given me over unto death.

19
Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto HaShem.
20
This is the gate of HaShem; the righteous shall enter into it.
21
I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
22
The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.
23
This is HaShem'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24
This is the day which HaShem hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25
We beseech Thee, O HaShem, save now! We beseech Thee, O HaShem, make us now to prosper!
26
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of HaShem; we bless you out of the house of HaShem.
27
HaShem is G-d, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.
28
Thou art my G-d, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my G-d, I will exalt Thee.
29
O give thanks unto HaShem, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
