Psalms 118 — Novel English Bible

1 Give hawadaw (thanks) to Yahawah (), for he is tawab (good / proper function), for his loving tawab (good / proper function) endures iwalam (forever).

2 Let Yashar-Al (Israel) now amar (said) that his loving chasad (grace) endures iwalam (eternity).

3 Let the bayath (house) of Aharawan (Aaron) now amar (said) that his loving chasad (grace) endures iwalam (eternity).

4 Now let those who yaraa (fear) Yahawah () amar (spoke) that his loving chasad (grace) endures iwalam (forever).

5 Out of my matzar (distress), I qaraa (called) on Yah (). Yah () inah (answer / respond) me with freedom.

6 Yahawah () is on my side. I will not be yaraa (fear / be afraid). What can adam (man) ishah (make) to me?

7 Yahawah () is on my side among those who izar (help) me. Therefore I will raah (see) in triumph at those who shanaa (hate) me.

8 It is tawab (good / proper function) to take chasah (refuge) in Yahawah (), than to batach (put) confidence in adam (man).

9 It is tawab (good / proper function) to take chasah (refuge) in Yahawah (), than to batach (put) confidence in nadayabayam (princes).

10 All the gawayam (nations) surrounded me, but in the sham (name) of Yahawah (), I mawal (cut) them off.

11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the sham (name) of Yahawah () I indeed mawal (cut) them off.

12 They surrounded me like dabawarayam (bees). They are daik (quenched) like the ash (fire) qawatzayam (thorns). In the sham (name) of Yahawah () I mawal (cut) them off.

13 You pushed me back hard, to napal (fall / be cast down) me fall, but Yahawah () izar (helped) me.

14 Yah () is my iz (strength / might / refuge) and zamarath (song). He has become my yashawaih (salvation).

15 The qawal (sound / voice) of ranah (rejoicing) and yashawaih (salvation) is in the ahalay (tents) of the tzadayaq (righteous). “The right yamayan (right hand) of Yahawah () ishah (make) chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor).

16 The right yamayan (right hand) of Yahawah () is ramam (exalted)! The right yamayan (right hand) of Yahawah () ishah (make) chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor)!”

17 I will not mawath (death), but chayah (live), and sapar (book) Yah () maishay (works).

18 Yah () has yasar (punished) me severely, but he nathan (give) not given me over to mawath (death).

19 Pathach (open) to me the shairay (gates) of tzadaq (righteous / just / fair). I will bawaa (come) into them. I will give yadah (thanks) to Yah ().

20 This is the shair (gate) of Yahawah (); the tzadayaq (righteous) will bawaa (come) into it.

21 I will give yadah (thanks) to you, for you have inah (answer / respond) me, and have become my yashawaih (salvation).

22 The aban (stone) which the bawanayam (builders) maas (rejected) has become the raash (head) of the panah (turn).

23 This is Yahawah () palaa (be wonderful / extraordinary / marvelous). It is marvelous in our iyan (eye).

24 This is the yawam (day) that Yahawah () ishah (make) made. We will gayal (rejoice) and be shamach (glad) in it!

25 Yashai (salvation) us now, we beg you, Yahawah ()! Yahawah (), we beg you, tzalach (send) prosperity now.

26 Barak (blessed) is he who bawaa (come) in the sham (name) of Yahawah ()! We have barak (blessed) you out of the bayath (house) of Yahawah ().

27 Yahawah () is Al, and he has given us awar (light). Asar (bind) the chag (feast/festival) with ibathayam (cords), even to the qaranawath (horns) of the mazabach (altar).

28 You are my Al, and I will give yadah (thanks) to you. You are my Alahayam (), I will rawam (will lift up) you.

29 Oh give hawadaw (thanks) to Yahawah (), for he is tawab (good / proper function), for his loving tawab (good / proper function) endures iwalam (forever).
