1 Give thanks toAdonai; for he is good,
for his grace continues forever.
2 Now let Isra’el say,
“His grace continues forever.”
3 Now let the house of Aharon say,
“His grace continues forever.”
4 Now let those who fearAdonaisay,
“His grace continues forever.”
5 From my being hemmed in I called onYah;
he answered and gave me more room.
6 WithAdonaion my side, I fear nothing —
what can human beings do to me?
7 WithAdonaion my side as my help,
I will look with triumph at those who hate me.
8 It is better to take refuge inAdonai
than to trust in human beings;
9 better to take refuge inAdonai
than to put one’s trust in princes.
10 The nations all surrounded me;
in the name ofAdonaiI cut them down.
11 They surrounded me on every side
in the name ofAdonaiI cut them down.
12 They surrounded me like bees
but were extinguished [as quickly] as a fire in thorns;
in the name ofAdonaiI cut them down.
13 You pushed me hard to make me fall,
butAdonaihelped me.
14 Yahis my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.
15 The sound of rejoicing and victory
is heard in the tents of the righteous:
“Adonai’s right hand struck powerfully!
16 Adonai’s right hand is raised in triumph!
Adonai’s right hand struck powerfully!”
17 I will not die; no, I will live
and proclaim the great deeds ofYah!
18 Yahdisciplined me severely,
but did not hand me over to death.
19 Open the gates of righteousness for me;
I will enter them and thankYah.
20 This is the gate ofAdonai;
the righteous can enter it.
21 I am thanking you because you answered me;
you became my salvation.
22 The very rock that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone!
23 This has come fromAdonai,
and in our eyes it is amazing.
24 This is the dayAdonaihas made,
a day for us to rejoice and be glad.
25 Please,Adonai! Save us!
Please,Adonai! Rescue us!
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name ofAdonai.
We bless you from the house ofAdonai.
27 Adonaiis God, and he gives us light.
Join in the pilgrim festival with branches
all the way to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I thank you.
You are my God; I exalt you.
29 Give thanks toAdonai; for he is good,
for his grace continues forever.
