Psalms 118:5-18

5I called upon Yah in distress: Yah answered me, and set me in a large place.1

6Yhwh is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?2

7Yhwh taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

8It is better to trust in Yhwh than to put confidence in man.

9It is better to trust in Yhwh than to put confidence in princes.

10All nations compassed me about: but in the name of Yhwh will I destroy them.3

11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of Yhwh I will destroy them.

12They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Yhwh I will destroy them.4

13Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: But Yhwh helped me.

14Yah is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of Yhwh doeth valiantly.

16The right hand of Yhwh is exalted: the right hand of Yhwh doeth valiantly.

17I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Yah.

18Yah hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
