1 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For 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 nations surrounded me, But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. |
11 They surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. |
12 They surrounded me like bees; They were quenched like a fire of thorns; For in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. |
13 You pushed me violently, that I might fall, But the LORD helped me. |
14 The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation. |
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation Is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. |
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. |
17 I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the LORD. |
18 The LORD has chastened me severely, But He has not given me over to death. |
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them, And I will praise the LORD. |
20 This is the gate of the LORD, Through which the righteous shall enter. |
21 I will praise You, For You have answered me, And have become my salvation. |
22 The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. |
23 This was the LORD'S doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. |
24 This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. |
25 Save now, I pray, O LORD; O LORD, I pray, send now prosperity. |
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. |
27 God is the LORD, And He has given us light; Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. |
28 You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You. |
29 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. |
