English Translation
Praise GOD, who is good—
whose steadfast love is eternal. Let Israel declare,
“God’s steadfast love is eternal.” Let the house of Aaron declare,
“God’s steadfast love is eternal.” Let those who fear GOD declare,
“God’s steadfast love is eternal.” In distress I called on Yah;aYah See note at 68.5.
Yah answered me and brought me relief. GOD is on my side,
I have no fear;
what can mortals do to me? With GOD on my side as my helper,
I will see the downfall of my foes. It is better to take refuge in GOD
than to trust in mortals; it is better to take refuge in GOD
than to trust in the great. All nations have beset me;
by GOD’s name I will surely cut them down.bcut them down Meaning of ʼamilam in this and the following two verses uncertain. They beset me, they surround me;
by GOD’s name I will surely cut them down. They have beset me like bees;
they shall be extinguished like burning thorns;
by GOD’s name I will surely cut them down. YoucYou I.e., the enemy. pressed me hard,
I nearly fell;
but GOD helped me. Yah is my strength and might,
and has become my deliverance. The tents of the victoriousdvictorious Or “righteous.” resound with joyous shouts of deliverance,
“GOD’s right hand is triumphant! GOD’s right hand is exalted!
GOD’s right hand is triumphant!” I shall not die but live
and proclaim the works of Yah. Yah punished me severely,
but did not hand me over to death. Open the gates of victoryevictory Or “righteousness.” for me
that I may enter them and praise Yah. This is the gateway to GOD—
the victoriousfvictorious Or “righteous.” shall enter through it. I praise You, for You have answered me,
and have become my deliverance. The stone that the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone. This is GOD’s doing;
it is marvelous in our sight. This is the day that GOD has made—
let us exult and rejoice on it. O ETERNAL One, deliver us!
O ETERNAL One, let us prosper! May everyone who enters be blessed in the name of GOD;
we bless you from the House of GOD. The ETERNAL is God,
who has given us light;
bind the festal offering to the horns of the altar with cords.gbind … with cords Meaning of Heb. uncertain. You are my God and I will praise You;
You are my God and I will extol You. Praise GOD, who is good—
whose steadfast love is eternal.
