Psalm 118
Lexham English Bible
Praise to God for His Loyal Love
118 Give thanks to Yahweh for he is good,
for his loyal love is forever.
2 Let Israel say,
“His loyal love is forever.”
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.[a]
Yah answered me, setting me in a broad place.
6 Yahweh is for me; I do not fear.
What can mere humans[b] 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.[c]
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[d] to make me fall,
but Yahweh helped me.
14 Yah[e] is my strength and my song,[f]
and he has become my salvation.[g]
15 The sound of rejoicing and salvation[h]
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.
17 I will not die but live,
and tell of the works of Yah.[i]
18 Yah has disciplined me severely,
but he did not consign[j] me to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to Yah.[k]
20 This is the gate of Yahweh,
through which the righteous will enter.
21 I will give thanks to you for you have answered me,
and you have become my salvation.[l]
22 The stone the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This is from Yahweh;
it is wonderful in our eyes.
24 This is the day Yahweh has worked;[m]
let us rejoice and be glad in him.[n]
25 O Yahweh, please save;
O Yahweh, please grant success.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh.
We bless you[o] from the house[p] of Yahweh.
27 Yahweh is God, and he has given us light.[q]
Bind the festal sacrifice[r] with cords[s]
to the horns[t] of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you.
You are my God; I will exalt you.
29 Give thanks to Yahweh for he is good,
for his loyal love is forever.

诗篇 118
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
劝民称谢耶和华因其慈爱永存
118 你们要称谢耶和华，因他本为善，他的慈爱永远长存！
2 愿以色列说：“他的慈爱永远长存！”
3 愿亚伦的家说：“他的慈爱永远长存！”
4 愿敬畏耶和华的说：“他的慈爱永远长存！”
5 我在急难中求告耶和华，他就应允我，把我安置在宽阔之地。
6 有耶和华帮助我，我必不惧怕，人能把我怎么样呢？
7 在那帮助我的人中，有耶和华帮助我，所以我要看见那恨我的人遭报。
8 投靠耶和华，强似倚赖人。
9 投靠耶和华，强似倚赖王子。
10 万民围绕我，我靠耶和华的名必剿灭他们。
11 他们环绕我，围困我，我靠耶和华的名必剿灭他们。
12 他们如同蜂子围绕我，好像烧荆棘的火必被熄灭，我靠耶和华的名必剿灭他们。
13 你推我，要叫我跌倒，但耶和华帮助了我。
14 耶和华是我的力量，是我的诗歌，他也成了我的拯救。
15 在义人的帐篷里，有欢呼拯救的声音：“耶和华的右手施展大能！
16 耶和华的右手高举，耶和华的右手施展大能！”
17 我必不致死，仍要存活，并要传扬耶和华的作为。
18 耶和华虽严严地惩治我，却未曾将我交于死亡。
19 给我敞开义门，我要进去称谢耶和华。
20 这是耶和华的门，义人要进去。
21 我要称谢你，因为你已经应允我，又成了我的拯救。
22 匠人所弃的石头，已成了房角的头块石头。
23 这是耶和华所做的，在我们眼中看为稀奇。
24 这是耶和华所定的日子，我们在其中要高兴欢喜。
25 耶和华啊，求你拯救！耶和华啊，求你使我们亨通！
26 奉耶和华名来的是应当称颂的！我们从耶和华的殿中为你们祝福。
27 耶和华是神，他光照了我们。理当用绳索把祭牲拴住，牵到坛角那里。
28 你是我的神，我要称谢你；你是我的神，我要尊崇你。
29 你们要称谢耶和华，因他本为善，他的慈爱永远长存！
