Scripture Reading, Psalm 118:1-14, November 5, 2023
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever.
2 Oh let Israel say, “His lovingkindness endures forever.”
3 Oh let the house of Aaron say, “His lovingkindness endures forever.”
4 Oh let those who fear Yahweh say, “His lovingkindness endures forever.”
5 From my distress I called upon Yah; Yah answered me and set me in a large place.
6 Yahweh is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me?
7 Yahweh is for me among those who help me; Therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me.
8 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh Than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh Than to trust in nobles.
10 All nations surrounded me; In the name of Yahweh I will surely cut them off.
11 They surrounded me, indeed, they surrounded me; In the name of Yahweh I will surely cut them off.
12 They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished as a fire of thorns; In the name of Yahweh I will surely cut them off.
13 You pushed me down violently to make me fall, But Yahweh helped me.
14 Yah is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.
