Psaltaren 118
Svenska 1917
118 Tacken HERREN, ty han är god, ty hans nåd varar evinnerligen.
2 Så säge Israel, ty hans nåd varar evinnerligen.
3 Så säge Arons hus, ty hans nåd varar evinnerligen.
4 Så säge de som frukta HERREN, ty hans nåd varar evinnerligen.
5 I mitt trångmål åkallade jag HERREN, och HERREN svarade mig och ställde mig på rymlig plats.
6 HERREN står mig bi, jag skall icke frukta; vad kunna människor göra mig?
7 HERREN står mig bi, han är min hjälpare, och jag skall få se med lust på dem som hata mig.
8 Bättre är att taga sin tillflykt till HERREN än att förlita sig på människor.
9 Bättre är att taga sin tillflykt till HERREN än att förlita sig på furstar.
10 Alla hedningar omringa mig, men i HERRENS namn skall jag förgöra dem.
11 De omringa mig, ja, de omringa mig, men i HERRENS namn skall jag förgöra dem.
12 De omringa mig såsom bin, men de slockna såsom eld i törne; i HERRENS namn skall jag förgöra dem.
13 Man stöter mig hårdeligen, för att jag skall falla, men HERREN hjälper mig.
14 HERREN är min starkhet och min lovsång, och han blev mig till frälsning.
15 Man sjunger med jubel om frälsning i de rättfärdigas hyddor: »HERRENS högra hand gör mäktiga ting.
16 HERRENS högra han upphöjer, HERRENS högra hand gör mäktiga ting.»
17 Jag skall icke dö, utan leva och förtälja HERRENS gärningar.
18 Väl tuktade mig HERREN, men han gav mig icke åt döden.
19 Öppnen för mig rättfärdighetens portar; jag vill gå in genom dem och tacka HERREN.
20 Detta är HERRENS port, de rättfärdiga skola gå in genom den.
21 Jag tackar dig för att du svarade mig och blev mig till frälsning.
22 Den sten som byggningsmännen förkastade har blivit en hörnsten.
23 Av HERREN har den blivit detta; underbart är det i våra ögon.
24 Detta är den dag som HERREN har gjort; låtom oss på den fröjdas och vara glada.
25 Ack HERRE, fräls! Ack HERRE, låt väl gå!
26 Välsignad vare han som kommer, i HERRENS namn. Vi välsigna eder från HERRENS hus.
27 HERREN är Gud, och han gav oss ljus. Ordnen eder i högtidsled, med lövrika kvistar i händerna, fram till altarets horn.
28 Du är min Gud, och jag vill tacka dig; min Gud, jag vill upphöja dig.
29 Tacka HERREN, ty han är god, ty hans nåd varar evinnerligen.

Psalm 118
A Song of Victory
1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his steadfast love endures forever!(A)
2 Let Israel say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”(B)
3 Let the house of Aaron say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
4 Let those who fear the Lord say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
5 Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.(C)
6 With the Lord on my side I do not fear.
What can mortals do to me?(D)
7 The Lord is on my side to help me;
I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.(E)
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to put confidence in mortals.(F)
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to put confidence in princes.(G)
10 All nations surrounded me;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!(H)
11 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
12 They surrounded me like bees;
they blazed[a] like a fire of thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
13 I was pushed hard,[b] so that I was falling,
but the Lord helped me.(I)
14 The Lord is my strength and my might;
he has become my salvation.(J)
15 There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous:
“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly;(K)
16 the right hand of the Lord is exalted;
the right hand of the Lord does valiantly.”(L)
17 I shall not die, but I shall live
and recount the deeds of the Lord.(M)
18 The Lord has punished me severely,
but he did not give me over to death.(N)
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.(O)
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
the righteous shall enter through it.(P)
21 I thank you that you have answered me
and have become my salvation.(Q)
22 The stone that the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone.(R)
23 This is the Lord’s doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.[c]
25 Save us, we beseech you, O Lord!
O Lord, we beseech you, give us success!
26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.[d]
We bless you from the house of the Lord.(S)
27 The Lord is God,
and he has given us light.
Bind the festal procession with branches,
up to the horns of the altar.[e](T)
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
you are my God; I will extol you.(U)
29 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever.(V)
