- 118:5 Out of my distress, I called on Yah.
- Yah answered me with freedom.
- 118:6 Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid.
- What can man do to me?
- 118:7 Yahweh is on my side among those who help me.

- They are quenched like the burning thorns.
- In the name of Yahweh I cut them off.
- 118:13 You pushed me back hard, to make me fall,
- but Yahweh helped me.

- He has become my salvation.
- 118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous.

- The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly!"
- 118:17 I will not die, but live,
- and declare Yah's works.
- 118:18 Yah has punished me severely,
- but he has not given me over to death.
- 118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness.
- I will enter into them.
- I will give thanks to Yah.
- 118:20 This is the gate of Yahweh;
- the righteous will enter into it.
- 118:21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me,
- and have become my salvation.

- It is marvelous in our eyes.
- 118:24 This is the day that Yahweh has made.
- We will rejoice and be glad in it!
- 118:25 Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh!
- Yahweh, we beg you, send prosperity now.
- 118:26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh!
- We have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.
- 118:27 Yahweh is God, and he has given us light.
- Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
- 118:28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you.
- You are my God, I will exalt you.
- 118:29 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
- for his loving kindness endures forever.
