Psalms 118:10-119:40
Chapter 118
10 All the nations surrounded me;
in the name of Yahweh I destroyed them.(k)
11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
in the name of Yahweh I destroyed them.(l)
12 They surrounded me like bees;(m)
they were extinguished like a fire among thorns;
in the name of Yahweh I destroyed them.(n)
13 You[b] pushed me[c] hard to make me fall,
but the
Lord
helped me.(o)
14 The
Lord
is my strength and my song;
He has become my salvation.(p)
15 There are shouts of joy and victory
in the tents of the righteous:
"The
Lord
's right hand performs valiantly!(q)
16 The
Lord
's right hand is raised.
The
Lord
's right hand performs valiantly!"(r)
17 I will not die, but I will live
and proclaim what the
Lord
has done.(s)
18 The
Lord
disciplined me severely
but did not give me over to death.(t)
19 Open the gates of righteousness for me;
I will enter through them
and give thanks to the
Lord
.(u)
20 This is the gate of the
Lord
;
the righteous will enter through it.(v)
21 I will give thanks to You
because You have answered me
and have become my salvation.(w)
22 The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.(x)
23 This came from the
Lord
;
it is wonderful in our eyes.(y)
24 This is the day the
Lord
has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.(z)
25
Lord
, save us!
Lord
, please grant us success!(aa)
26 He who comes in the name
of the
Lord
is blessed.(ab)
From the house of the
Lord
we bless you.(ac)
27 The
Lord
is God and has given us light.
Bind the festival sacrifice with cords
to the horns of the altar.(ad)
28 You are my God, and I will give You thanks.
You are my God; I will exalt You.(ae)
29 Give thanks to the
Lord
, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.(af)
Chapter 119
Psalm 119
Delight in God's Word
א Alef
1 How[a] happy are those whose way is blameless,(a)
who live according to the
Lord
's instruction!(b)
2 Happy are those who keep His decrees(c)
and seek Him with all their heart.(d)
3 They do nothing wrong;(e)
they follow His ways.
4 You have commanded that Your precepts(f)
be diligently kept.
5 If only my ways were committed

I will not forget Your word.

for I take pleasure in it.(ap)

and not to material gain.(ar)

from looking at what is worthless;(as)
give me life in Your ways.[g](at)
38 Confirm what You said to Your servant,(au)
for it produces reverence for You.
