118:017 I will not die, but live, and declare Yah's works.
118:018 Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me
over to death.
118:019 Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them.
I will give thanks to Yah.
118:020 This is the gate of Yahweh; the righteous will enter into it.
118:021 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have
become my salvation.
118:022 The stone which the builders rejected has become the head
of the corner.
118:023 This is Yahweh's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
118:024 This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be
glad in it!
118:025 Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh! Yahweh, we beg you,
send prosperity now.
118:026 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh! We have blessed
you out of the house of Yahweh.
118:027 Yahweh is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice
with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
118:028 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you.
You are my God, I will exalt you.
118:029 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving
kindness endures forever.
119:001 <<ALEPH>> Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to Yahweh's law.
119:002 Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with
their whole heart.
119:003 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.
119:004 You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.
119:005 Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes!
119:006 Then I wouldn't be disappointed, when I consider all
of your commandments.
119:007 I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I
learn your righteous judgments.
119:008 I will observe your statutes. Don't utterly forsake me.
119:009 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according
to your word.
119:010 With my whole heart, I have sought you. Don't let me wander
from your commandments.
119:011 I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not
sin against you.
119:012 Blessed are you, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.
119:013 With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.
119:014 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much
as in all riches.
119:015 I will meditate on your precepts, and consider your ways.
119:016 I will delight myself in your statutes. I will not
forget your word.
119:017 Do good to your servant. I will live and I will obey your word.
119:018 Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law.
119:019 I am a stranger on the earth. Don't hide your commandments from me.
119:020 My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times.
119:021 You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander
from your commandments.
119:022 Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have
kept your statutes.
