He is your helper and your Magen .

12 Yahweh, who is always thinking about us, will bless us.

He will bless the descendants of Israel.

He will bless the descendants of Aaron.

13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh, from the least important to the most important.

14 May Yahweh continue to bless you and your children.

15 You will be blessed by Yahweh, the maker of heaven and earth.

16 The highest heaven belongs to Yahweh, but he has given the earth to the descendants of Adam.

17 Those who are dead do not praise Yah, nor do those who go into the silence of the grave.

18 But we will thank Yah now and forever.

Hallelujah!

Psalm 116 1 I love Yahweh because he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.

2 I will call on him as long as I live because he turns his ear toward me.

3 The ropes of death became tangled around me.

The horrors of the grave took hold of me.

I experienced pain and agony.

4 But I kept calling on the name of Yahweh: "Please, Yahweh, rescue me!"

5 Yahweh is merciful and righteous.

Our Elohim is compassionate.

6 Yahweh protects defenseless people.

When I was weak, he saved me.

7 Be at peace again, my soul, because Yahweh has been good to you.

8 You saved me from death.

You saved my eyes from tears and my feet from stumbling.

9 I will walk in Yahweh's presence in this world of the living.

10 I kept my faith even when I said, "I am suffering terribly."

11 I also said when I was panic-stricken, "Everyone is undependable."

12 How can I repay Yahweh for all the good that he has done for me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of Yahweh.

14 I will keep my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his faithful ones.

16 O Yahweh, I am indeed your servant.

I am your servant, the son of your female servant.

You have freed me from my chains.

17 I will bring a song of thanksgiving to you as a sacrifice.

I will call on the name of Yahweh.

18 I will keep my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people, 19 in the courtyards of Yahweh's house, in the middle of Jerusalem.

Hallelujah!

Psalm 117 1 Praise Yahweh, all you nations!

Praise him, all you people of the world!

2 His mercy toward us is powerful.

Yahweh's faithfulness endures forever.

Hallelujah!

Psalm 118 1 Give thanks to Yahweh because he is good, because his mercy endures forever.

2 Israel should say, "His mercy endures forever."

3 The descendants of Aaron should say, "His mercy endures forever."

4 Those who fear Yahweh should say, "His mercy endures forever."

5 During times of trouble I called on Yah.

Yah answered me and set me free from all of them.

6 Yahweh is on my side.

I am not afraid.

What can mortals do to me?

7 Yahweh is on my side as my helper.

I will see the defeat of those who hate me.

8 It is better to depend on Yahweh than to trust mortals.

9 It is better to depend on Yahweh than to trust influential people.

10 All the nations surrounded me, but armed with the name of Yahweh, I defeated them.

11 They surrounded me. Yes, they surrounded me, but armed with the name of Yahweh, I defeated them.

12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they were extinguished like burning thornbushes.

So armed with the name of Yahweh, I defeated them.

13 They pushed hard to make me fall, but Yahweh helped me.

14 Yah is my strength and my song.

He is my savior.

15 The sound of joyful singing and victory is heard in the tents of righteous people.

The right hand of Yahweh displays strength.

16 The right hand of Yahweh is held high.

The right hand of Yahweh displays strength.

17 I will not die, but I will live and tell what Yah has done.

18 Yah disciplined me severely, but he did not allow me to be killed.

19 Open the gates of righteousness for me.

I will go through them and give thanks to Yah.

20 This is the gate of Yahweh through which righteous people will enter.

21 I give thanks to you, because you have answered me.

You are my savior.

22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

23 Yahweh is responsible for this, and it is amazing for us to see.

24 This is the day Yahweh has made.

Let's rejoice and be glad today!

25 We beg you, O Yahweh, save us!

We beg you, O Yahweh, give us success!

26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of Yahweh.

We bless you from Yahweh's house.

27 Yahweh is El, and he has given us light.

March in a festival procession with branches to the horns of the altar.

28 You are my El, and I give thanks to you.

My Elohim , I honor you highly.

29 Give thanks to Yahweh because he is good, because his mercy endures forever.

Psalm 119a 1 Blessed are those whose lives have integrity, those who follow the teachings of Yahweh.

2 Blessed are those who obey his written instructions.

They wholeheartedly search for him.

3 They do nothing wrong.

They follow his directions.

4 You have commanded that your guiding principles be carefully followed.

5 I pray that my ways may become firmly established so that I can obey your laws.

6 Then I will never feel ashamed when I study all your commandments.

7 I will give thanks to you as I learn your regulations, which are based on your righteousness.

8 I will obey your laws.

Never abandon me.

9 How can a young person keep his life pure?

He can do it by holding on to your word.
