[1] Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever. [2] Let Israel now say That his lovingkindness endures forever. [3] Let the house of Aaron now say That his lovingkindness endures forever. [4] Now let those who fear Yahweh say That his lovingkindness endures forever. [5] Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom. [6] Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? [7] Yahweh is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at 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 the nations surrounded me, But in the name of Yahweh, I cut them off. [11] They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of Yahweh I indeed cut them off. [12] They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of Yahweh I cut them off. [13] You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, But Yahweh helped me. [14] Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. [15] The voice of rejoicing and salvation is 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 will not die, but live, And declare Yah`s works. [18] Yah has punished me severely, But he has not given me over to death. [19] Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Yah. [20] This is the gate of Yahweh; The righteous will enter into it. [21] I will give thanks to you, for 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 that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it! [25] Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh; Yahweh, we beg you, now send prosperity. [26] Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh! We have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh. [27] Yahweh is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. [28] You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you. [29] Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever. Psalm 119 ALEPH
