Psalm 118

Neues Leben. Die Bibel

1 Dankt dem HERRN, denn er ist gut und seine Gnade bleibt ewig bestehen. (Ps 136,1) 2 Das Volk Israel soll sagen: »Seine Gnade bleibt ewig bestehen.« (Ps 115,9) 3 Aarons Nachkommen, die Priester, sollen sagen: »Seine Gnade bleibt ewig bestehen.« 4 Alle, die den HERRN fürchten, sollen sagen: »Seine Gnade bleibt ewig bestehen.« 5 In meiner Not betete ich zum HERRN, und der HERR hat mich erhört und mir Freiheit geschenkt. (Ps 18,20; Ps 120,1) 6 Der HERR steht zu mir, deshalb fürchte ich mich nicht. Was können mir Menschen anhaben? (Hi 19,27; Hebr 13,6) 7 Der HERR steht zu mir und hilft mir und ich werde über meine Feinde triumphieren. (Ps 54,9) 8 Es ist besser, auf den HERRN zu vertrauen, als sein Vertrauen auf Menschen zu setzen. (2Chr 32,7; Jes 57,13) 9 Ja, es ist besser, auf den HERRN zu vertrauen, als sein Vertrauen auf Fürsten zu setzen. 10 Feindliche Völker hatten mich umzingelt, doch ich wehre sie alle ab im Namen des HERRN. (Ps 18,41) 11 Sie bedrängten mich und griffen mich an, doch ich wehre sie alle ab im Namen des HERRN. 12 Sie umschwärmten mich wie die Bienen, sie wüteten gegen mich wie lodernde Flammen, doch ich vernichtete sie alle im Namen des HERRN. (5Mo 1,44) 13 Man stieß mich, um mich zu Fall zu bringen, doch der HERR hat mir geholfen. 14 Der HERR ist meine Stärke und mein Lobpreis, er hat mich gerettet. (2Mo 15,2; Jes 12,2) 15 Lieder der Freude und des Sieges erklingen im Lager der Gottesfürchtigen. Der rechte Arm des HERRN hat mächtige Taten vollbracht! (Ps 89,14; Lk 1,51) 16 Der rechte Arm des HERRN ist im Sieg erhoben. Der rechte Arm des HERRN hat mächtige Taten vollbracht! 17 Ich werde nicht sterben, sondern leben, um zu erzählen, was der HERR getan hat. 18 Der HERR hat mich schwer gestraft, doch er hat mich nicht dem Tod ausgeliefert. (Jer 31,18; 1Kor 11,32; 2Kor 6,9) 19 Öffnet mir die Tore, durch die die Gerechten einziehen, ich will hineingehen und dem HERRN danken. (Jes 26,2) 20 Diese Tore führen in die Gegenwart des HERRN, dort gehen die Gottesfürchtigen hinein. 21 Ich danke dir, dass du mein Gebet erhört und mich gerettet hast! 22 Der Stein, den die Bauleute verworfen haben, ist zum Eckstein geworden.^[1] (Mt 21,42; Mk 12,10; Lk 20,17; Apg 4,11; 1Petr 2,1)

Mt 21,42Mk 12,10Lk 20,17Apg 4,111Petr 2,1

23 Das ist das Werk des HERRN, und es ist wunderbar anzusehen. (Mt 21,42; Mk 12,11) 24 Dies ist der Tag, den der HERR gemacht hat. Lasst uns jubeln und fröhlich sein. 25 HERR, errette uns doch. HERR, gib doch Gelingen! 26 Gepriesen sei, der im Namen des HERRN kommt. Wir segnen euch, die ihr zum Haus des HERRN gehört. (Mt 21,9; Mk 11,9; Lk 13,1; Lk 13,35; Joh 12,13)

27 Der HERR ist Gott, er leuchtet über uns. Holt die Opfer herbei und legt sie vor dem Altar nieder. (1Petr 2,9) 28 Du bist mein Gott, ich will dir danken! Du bist mein Gott, ich will dich loben! (2Mo 15,2; Jes 25,1) 29 Danket dem HERRN, denn er ist gut und seine Gnade bleibt ewig bestehen.

1 Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever. 2 Let the people of Israel say, ‘His faithful love continues for ever.’ 3 Let the priests of Aaron say, ‘His faithful love continues for ever.’ 4 Let those who have respect for the LORD say, ‘His faithful love continues for ever.’ 5 When I was in great trouble, I cried out to the LORD. He answered me and set me free from my trouble. 6 The LORD is with me. I will not be afraid. What can mere human beings do to me? 7 The LORD is with me. He helps me. I win the battle over my enemies. 8 It is better to go to the LORD for safety than to trust in mere human beings. 9 It is better to go to the LORD for safety than to trust in human leaders. 10 The nations were all around me. But by the LORD’s power I destroyed them. 11 They were around me on every side. But by the LORD’s power I destroyed them. 12 They attacked me like swarms of bees. But they were burned up as quickly as thorns in a fire. By the LORD’s power I destroyed them. 13 I was pushed back and about to be killed. But the LORD helped me. 14 The LORD gives me strength and makes me secure. He has saved me. 15 Shouts of joy ring out in the tents of godly people. They praise him for his help in battle. They shout, ‘The LORD’s powerful right hand has done mighty things! 16 The LORD’s powerful right hand has won the battle! The LORD’s powerful right hand has done mighty things!’ 17 I will not die but live. I will talk about what the LORD has done. 18 The LORD has really punished me. But he didn’t let me die. 19 Open for me the gates where the godly can go in. I will enter and give thanks to the LORD. 20 This is the gate of the LORD. Only those who do what is right can go through it. 21 LORD, I will give thanks to you, because you answered me. You have saved me. 22 The stone the builders didn’t accept has become the most important stone of all. 23 The LORD has done it. It is wonderful in our eyes. 24 The LORD has done it on this day. Let us be joyful today and be glad. 25 LORD, save us. LORD, give us success. 26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD. From the temple of the LORD we bless you. 27 The LORD is God. He has been good to us. Take branches in your hands. Join in the march on the day of the feast. March up to the corners of the altar. 28 You are my God, and I will praise you. You are my God, and I will honour you. 29 Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever.
