1 O GIVE thanks unto theLord; for he is good: for his mercyendurethfor ever.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercyendurethfor ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercyendurethfor ever.
4 Let them now that fear theLordsay, that his mercyendurethfor ever.
5 Out of my distress I called upon theLord: theLordanswered meand set mein a large place.
6 TheLordis on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 TheLordis on my side among them that help me: therefore shall I seemy desireupon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in theLordthan to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in theLord, than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: in the name of theLordI will cut them off.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: in the name of theLordI will cut them off.
12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: in the name of theLordI will cut them off.
13 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall: but theLordhelped me.
14 TheLordis my strength and song; and he is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of theLorddoeth valiantly.
16 The right hand of theLordis exalted: the right hand of theLorddoeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of theLord.
18 TheLordhath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto theLord.
20 This is the gate of theLord; the righteous shall enter into it.
21 I will give thanks unto thee, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner.
23 This is theLord’S doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which theLordhath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, we beseech thee, OLord: OLord, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of theLord: we have blessed you out of the house of theLord.
27 TheLordis God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29 O give thanks unto theLord; for he is good: for his mercyendurethfor ever.
