Psalms 118
118
Glorious Thanksgiving
A praise psalm # 118 This is the psalm or hymn that Jesus likely sang after the Passover supper with his disciples, before making his way to Gethsemane and Calvary.
1Keep on giving your thanks to God, for he is so good!
His constant, tender love lasts forever!
2Let all his princely people sing,
“His constant, tender love lasts forever!”
3Let all his holy priests sing,
“His constant, tender love lasts forever!”
4Let all his lovers who bow low before him sing,
“His constant, tender love lasts forever!”
5Out of my deep anguish and pain I prayed,
and God, you helped me as a father.
You came to my rescue and broke open the way
into a beautiful and broad place.
6Now I know, Lord, that you are for me,
and I will never fear what man can do to me.
7For you stand beside me as my hero who rescues me.
I’ve seen with my own eyes the defeat of my enemies.
I’ve triumphed over them all!
8Lord, it is so much better to trust in you to save me
than to put my confidence in someone else.
9Yes, it is so much better to trust in the Lord to save me
than to put my confidence in celebrities.
10Once I was hemmed in and surrounded by those
who don’t love you.
But by Yahweh’s supernatural power I overcame them all!
11-12Yes, they surrounded me,
like a swarm of killer bees swirling around me.
I was trapped like one trapped by a raging fire;
I was surrounded with no way out and at the point of collapse.
But by Yahweh’s supernatural power, I overcame them all!
13They pushed me right up to the edge, and I was ready to fall,
but you helped me to triumph, and together we overcame them all.
14Lord, you are my true strength and my glory-song,
my champion, my Savior!
15The joyful songs I now sing will be sung again
in the hearts and homes of all your devoted lovers.
My loud shouts of victory will echo throughout the land. # 118:15 Or “in the tents of the righteous.”
For Yahweh’s right hand conquers valiantly!
16The right hand of Yahweh exalts!
The right hand of Yahweh will never fail.
17You will not let them kill me,
but I will live to tell the world what the Lord has done for me.
18Yes, the Lord punished me as I deserved,
but he’ll never give me over to death.
19Swing wide, you gates of righteousness, and let me pass through,
and I will enter into God’s presence to worship only him.
20I have found the gateway to God,
the pathway to his presence for all his devoted lovers.
21I will offer all my loving praise to you,
and I thank you so much for answering my prayer
and bringing me salvation!
22The very stone the masons rejected as flawed
has turned out to be the most important capstone of the arch, # 118:22 The words “capstone of the arch” can also be translated “head of the corner.”
holding up the very house of God.
23The Lord himself is the one who has done this,
and it’s so amazing, so marvelous to see!
24This is the very day of the Lord that brings
gladness and joy, filling our hearts with glee.
25O God, please come and save us again;
bring us your breakthrough-victory!
26Blessed is this one who comes to us, the sent one of the Lord.
And from within the temple we cry, “We bless you!”
27-28For the Lord our God has brought us his glory-light.
I offer him my life in joyous sacrifice.
Tied tightly to your altar, I will bring you praise.
For you are the God of my life and I lift you high,
exalting you to the highest place.
29So let’s keep on giving our thanks to God, for he is so good!
His constant, tender love lasts forever!

1O give thanks unto Hashem; for He is tov; Ki l'olam chasdo (for His mercy endureth forever).
2Let Yisroel now say, Ki l'olam chasdo.
3Let the Bais Aharon now say, Ki l'olam chasdo.
4Let them now that fear Hashem say, Ki l'olam chasdo,
5I called upon Hashem in distress; Hashem answered me, and set me in a broad place.
6 Hashem is on my side; I will not fear; what can adam do unto me?
7 Hashem taketh my part through them that help me; therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8It is better to trust in Hashem than to put confidence in adam.
9It is better to trust in Hashem than to put confidence in nedivim (nobles).
10All Goyim surrounded me; but in the Shem Hashem will I cut them off.
11They surrounded me; yes, they compassed me about; but in the Shem Hashem I will cut them off.
12They compassed me about like devorim (bees); they are extinguished like the eish of kotzim (thorns); for in the Shem Hashem I will cut them off.
13Thou hast hard pushed at me that I fell; but Hashem helped me.
14 Hashem is my oz (strength) and zimrah (song), and He is become my Yeshu'ah (salvation).
15The voice of rejoicing and Yeshu'ah (salvation) is in the ohalim of the tzaddikim; the Yamin Hashem doeth valiantly.
16The Yamin Hashem is exalted; the Yamin Hashem doeth valiantly.
17I shall not die, but live, and declare the ma'asim (works) of Hashem.
18 Hashem hath hard chastened me severely; but He hath not given me over unto mavet (death).
19Open to me the sha'arei tzedek; I will go through them, and I will praise Hashem;
20This is the sha'ar of Hashem, into which the tzaddikim shall enter.
21I will praise Thee; for Thou hast heard me, and art become my Yeshu'ah (salvation).
22The Even (Stone) which the Bonim (Builders) rejected#118:22 mem-alef-samech, see same word Ps 89:38 [39] has become the Rosh Pinnah (Cornerstone).
23This is Hashemʼs doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24This is the yom which Hashem hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25Save now, we beseech Thee, Hashem; Hashem, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26Baruch habah b'Shem Hashem; we have blessed you from the Beis Hashem.
27 Hashem is G-d, Who hath showed us light; bind the chag (festival offering) with cords, even until#118:27 you come to the karnot of the Mizbe'ach.
28Thou art my G-d, and I will praise Thee; Thou art Elohai, I will exalt Thee.
29O give thanks unto Hashem; for He is tov; ki l'olam chasdo (for His mercy endureth forever).#118:29 T.N. A ma'amin b'Moshiach will carry Scripture with him at all times, as the following Psalm teaches.
