1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever.
2 Let Israel now say
that his loving kindness endures forever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say
that his loving kindness endures forever.
4 Now let those who fear Yahweh say
that his loving kindness endures forever.
5 Out of my distress, I called on Yah.
Yah answered me with freedom.
6 Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
7 Yahweh is on my side among those who help me.
Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.
8 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
than to put confidence in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me,
but in Yahweh’s name I cut them off.
11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me.
In Yahweh’s name I indeed cut them off.
12 They surrounded me like bees.
They are quenched like the burning thorns.
In Yahweh’s name I cut them off.
13 You pushed me back hard, to make me fall,
but Yahweh helped me.
14 Yah is my strength and song.
He has become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous.
"The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.
16 The right hand of Yahweh is exalted!
The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly!"
17 I will not die, but live,
and declare Yah’s works.
18 Yah has punished me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness.
I will enter into them.
I will give thanks to Yah.
20 This is the gate of Yahweh;
the righteous will enter into it.
21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me,
and have become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
23 This is Yahweh’s doing.
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that Yahweh has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it!
25 Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh!
Yahweh, we beg you, send prosperity now.
26 Blessed is he who comes in Yahweh’s name!
We have blessed you out of Yahweh’s house.
27 Yahweh is God, and he has given us light.
Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you.
You are my God, I will exalt you.
29 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever.
1 Loof die HERE, want Hy is goed, want sy goedertierenheid is tot in ewigheid!
2 Laat Israel dan sê dat sy goedertierenheid tot in ewigheid is!
3 Laat die huis van A„ron dan sê dat sy goedertierenheid tot in ewigheid is!
4 Laat die wat die HERE vrees, dan sê dat sy goedertierenheid tot in ewigheid is!
5 Uit die benoudheid het ek die HERE aangeroep; die HERE het my verhoor in die ruimte.
6 Die HERE is v¡r my; ek sal nie vrees nie: wat kan 'n mens my doen?
7 Die HERE is v¡r my as my helper; so sal ,k dan neersien op die wat my haat.
8 Dit is beter om by die HERE te skuil as om op mense te vertrou.
9 Dit is beter om by die HERE te skuil as om op edeles te vertrou.
10 Al die heidene het my omsingel; dit is in die Naam van die HERE dat ek hulle stukkend gekap het.
11 Hulle het my omsingel, ja, hulle het my omsingel; dit is in die Naam van die HERE dat ek hulle stukkend gekap het.
12 Hulle het my omsingel soos bye -- hulle is uitgeblus soos 'n doringtakvuur; dit is in die Naam van die HERE dat ek hulle stukkend gekap het.
13 Jy het my hard gestamp om my te laat val, maar die HERE het my gehelp.
14 Die HERE is my sterkte en psalm, en Hy het my tot heil geword.
15 'n Stem van gejubel en van heil is in die tente van die regverdiges: die regterhand van die HERE doen kragtige dade.
16 Die regterhand van die HERE verhef; die regterhand van die HERE doen kragtige dade.
17 Ek sal nie sterwe nie, maar lewe en die werke van die HERE vertel.
18 Die HERE het my hard gekasty, maar my aan die dood nie oorgegee nie.
19 Maak oop vir my die poorte van die geregtigheid; ek wil daardeur ingaan, ek wil die HERE loof.
20 Dit is die poort van die HERE; regverdiges mag daardeur ingaan.
21 Ek wil U loof, omdat U my verhoor het en my tot heil geword het.
22 Die steen wat die bouers verwerp het, het 'n hoeksteen geword.
23 Dit het van die HERE gekom; dit is wonderbaar in ons oë.
24 Dit is die dag wat die HERE gemaak het; laat ons daaroor juig en bly wees.
25 Ag, HERE, gee tog heil; ag, HERE, gee tog voorspoed!
26 Geseënd is hy wat kom in die Naam van die HERE! Ons seën julle uit die huis van die HERE.
27 Die HERE is God, en Hy het vir ons lig gegee. Bind die feesoffer met toue, tot by die horings van die altaar.
28 U is my God, en ek wil U loof; o my God, ek wil U verhoog.
29 Loof die HERE, want Hy is goed, want sy goedertierenheid is tot in ewigheid!
