1Yadah ·Extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai, for he is good, for his chesed ·loving-kindness· endures forever.

2Let Israel [God prevails] now say that his chesed ·loving-kindness· endures forever.

3Let the house of Aaron [Light-bringer] now say that his chesed ·loving-kindness· endures forever.

4Now let those who fear Adonai say that his chesed ·loving-kindness· endures forever.

5Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.

6With Adonai on my side. I will not be afraid. What can a human being do to me? ²⁴⁰

7Adonai is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.

8It is better to take refuge in Adonai, than to put confidence in man.

9It is better to take refuge in Adonai, than to put confidence in princes.

10All the nations surrounded me, but in Adonai’s name, I cut them off.

11They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In Adonai’s name I indeed cut them off.

12They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns.
In Adonai’s name I cut them off.

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

14Yah is my strength and song. He has become my yishu'ah ·salvation·.

15The voice of rejoicing and yishu'ah ·salvation· is in the tents of the upright. “The right hand of Adonai does valiantly.

16The right hand of Adonai is exalted! The right hand of Adonai does valiantly!”

17²⁴¹I will not die, but live, and declare Yah’s works.

18Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

19Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them.
I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Yah.

20This is the gate of Adonai; the upright will enter into it.

21I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, for you have answered me, and have become my yishu'ah ·salvation·.

22²⁴²²⁴³The stone which the builders rejected has become the corner-stone. ²⁴⁴

23This is Adonai ’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. ²⁴⁵

24This is the day that Adonai has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!

25²⁴⁶Save us now, we beg you, Adonai ! Adonai , we beg you, send prosperity now.

26Blessed is he who comes in the name of Adonai ! ^247248249We have blessed you out of Adonai ’s house.

27Adonai is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.

28You are my God, and I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.

29Oh yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai, for he is good, for his chesed ·loving-kindness· endures forever.
