Psalms 118:3-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

3. Let the house of Aaron say, “His loyal love is forever.”

4. Let those who fear Yahweh say, “His loyal love is forever.”

5. Out of my distress I called to Yah. Yah answered me, setting me in a broad place.

6. Yahweh is for me; I do not fear. What can mere humans do to me?

7. Yahweh is for me as my helper, and so I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

8. It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to trust in humans.

9. It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to trust princes.

10. All nations surrounded me. In the name of Yahweh I opposed them indeed.

11. They surrounded me; yes, they surrounded me. In the name of Yahweh I opposed them indeed.

12. They surrounded me like bees; they were extinguished like a fire of thorns. In the name of Yahweh I opposed them indeed.

13. You pushed me hard to make me fall, but Yahweh helped me.

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

15. The sound of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of Yahweh has done valiantly.

16. The right hand of Yahweh has exalted; the right hand of Yahweh has done valiantly.
