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