1Al eluia! Give thanks to Yahweh for he is good, for his faithful love endures for ever.2Let the House of Israel say, 'His faithful love endures for ever.'3Let the House of Aaron say, 'His faithful love endures for ever.'4Let those who fear Yahweh say, 'His faithful love endures for ever.'5In my distress I called to Yahweh, he heard me and brought me relief.6With Yahweh on my side I fear nothing; what can human beings do to me?7With Yahweh on my side as my help, I gloat over my enemies.8It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to rely on human beings;9better to take refuge in Yahweh than to rely on princes.10Nations were swarming around me, in the name of Yahweh I cut them down;11they swarmed around me, pressing upon me, in the name of Yahweh I cut them down.12They swarmed around me like bees, they flared up like a brushwood fire, in the name of Yahweh Icut them down.13I was pushed hard, to make me fal , but Yahweh came to my help.14Yahweh is my strength and my song, he has been my Saviour.15Shouts of joy and salvation, in the tents of the upright, 'Yahweh's right hand is triumphant,16Yahweh's right hand is victorious, Yahweh's right hand is triumphant!'17I shal not die, I shal live to recount the great deeds of Yahweh.18Though Yahweh punished me sternly, he has not abandoned me to death.19Open for me the gates of saving justice, I shal go in and thank Yahweh.20This is the gate of Yahweh, where the upright go in.21I thank you for hearing me, and making yourself my Saviour.22The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;23This is Yahweh's doing, and we marvel at it.24This is the day which Yahweh has made, a day for us to rejoice and be glad.25We beg you, Yahweh, save us, we beg you, Yahweh, give us victory!26Blessed in the name of Yahweh is he who is coming! We bless you from the house of Yahweh.27Yahweh is God, he gives us light. Link your processions, branches in hand, up to the horns of thealtar.28You are my God, I thank you, al praise to you, my God. I thank you for hearing me, and makingyourself my Saviour.29Give thanks to Yahweh for he is good, for his faithful love endures for ever.
