Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good
1
Give thanks to YHWH, || For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time.
2
Now let Israel say, || His kindness [is] for all time.
3
Now let the house of Aaron say, || His kindness [is] for all time.
4
Now let those fearing YHWH say, || His kindness [is] for all time.
5
I called YAH from the narrow place, || YAH answered me in a broad place.
6
YHWH [is] for me, || I do not fear what man does to me.
7
YHWH [is] for me among my helpers, || And I look on those hating me.
8
Better to take refuge in YHWH, || Than to trust in man,
9
Better to take refuge in YHWH, || Than to trust in princes.
10
All nations have surrounded me, || In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.
11
They have surrounded me, || Indeed, they have surrounded me, || In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.
12
They surrounded me as bees, || They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, || In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.
13
You have severely thrust me to fall, || And YHWH has helped me.
14
YAH is my strength and song, || And He is to me for salvation.
15
A voice of singing and salvation, || [Is] in the tents of the righteous, || The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.
16
The right hand of YHWH is exalted, || The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.
17
I do not die, but live, || And recount the works of YAH,
18
YAH has severely disciplined me, || And has not given me up to death.
19
Open gates of righteousness to me, || I enter into them—I thank YAH.
20
This [is] the gate to YHWH, || The righteous enter into it.
21
I thank You, for You have answered me, || And are to me for salvation.
22
A stone the builders refused || Has become head of a corner.
23
This has been from YHWH, || It [is] wonderful in our eyes,
24
This [is] the day YHWH has made, || We rejoice and are glad in it.
25
Ah, now, O YHWH, please save, || Ah, now, O YHWH, please prosper.
26
Blessed [is] He who is coming || In the Name of YHWH, || We blessed you from the house of YHWH,
27
God [is] YHWH, and He gives light to us, || Direct the festal-sacrifice with cords, || To the horns of the altar.
28
You [are] my God, and I confess You, || My God, I exalt You.
29
Give thanks to YHWH, || For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!
