If three are present, one reads the verse and the others repeat after him, as is done in the synagogue:
Thank Hashem, since He is good, since His kindness is forever.
Let Yisrael say, "since His kindness is forever."
Let the House of Aharon say, "since His kindness is forever."
Let those that fear Hashem say, "since His kindness is forever."
From the strait I have called, Hashem; He answered me from the wide space, Hashem. Hashem is for me, I will not fear, what will man do to me? Hashem is for me as my help, and I shall glare at those that hate me. It is better to take refuge with Hashem than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge with Hashem than to trust in nobles. All the nations surrounded me - with the name of Hashem, I will chop them off. They surrounded me, they also encircled me - with the name of Hashem, I will chop them off. They surrounded me like bees, they were extinguished like a fire of thorns - with the name of Hashem, I will chop them off. You have surely pushed me to fall, but Hashem helped me. My boldness and song is Hashem, and He has become my salvation. The sound of happy song and salvation is in the tents of the righteous, the right hand of Hashem acts powerfully. The right hand of Hashem is uplifted; the right hand of Hashem acts powerfully. I will not die but rather I will live and retell the acts of Hashem. Hashem has surely chastised me, but He has not given me over to death. Open up for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter them, [and] thank Hashem. This is the gate of Hashem, the righteous will enter it.
Each verse is now recited twice.
I will thank You, since You answered me and You have become my salvation. The stone that was left by the builders has become the main cornerstone. From Hashem was this, it is wondrous in our eyes. This is the day of Hashem, let us exult and rejoice upon it. Please, Hashem, save us now! Please, Hashem, give us success now! Blessed be the one who comes in the name of Hashem, we have blessed you from the house of Hashem. G-d is Hashem, and He has illuminated us; tie up the festival offering with ropes until it reaches the corners of the altar. You are my Power and I will Thank You; my G-d, and I will exalt You. Thank Hashem, since He is good, since His kindness is forever.(Psalms 118)
