1
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for hie is good!
Because his mercy endures forever.
2
Let Israel now say, "His mercy endures forever."
3
Let the house of Aaron now say,
"His mercy endures forever."
4
Let those who fear the LORD now say,
"His mercy endures forever."
5
I called on the LORD in distress;
the LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.
6
The LORD is on my side;
I will not fear. What can man do to me?
7
The LORD is for me among those who help me;
therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.
8
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
10
All the nations surrounded us, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
11
They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
12
They swarmed around me like bees, but they died out as quickly as burning thorns;
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
13
I was pushed back and about to fall, but the LORD helped me.
14
The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
15
Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous.
"The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!
16
The LORD's right hand is lifted high;
the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!"
17
I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done.
18
The LORD has chastened severely, but he has not given me over to death.
19
Open for me the gates of righteousness;
I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.
20
This is the gate of the LORD through which the righteous may enter,
21
I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.
22
The stone the builders rejected has become capstone;
23
the LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25
O LORD, save us; O LORD, grant us success.
26
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.
From the house of the LORD we bless you.
27
The LORD is God and he has made his light shine upon us.
With boughs in hand, join in thre festal procession up to the horns of the altar.
28
You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.
29
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
For his mercy endures forever.
