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!
