 1 O give thanks to the Lord. For He is good. Because His mercy endures forever. 2 Let Israel now say that His mercy endures forever. 3 Let the house of Aaron now say that His mercy endures forever. 4 Let those who fear the Lord now say that His mercy endures forever. 5 I called on the Lord in distress. The Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. 6 The Lord is for me. I will not fear. What can man do to me? 7 The Lord is for me among those who help me. I will see my desire on those who hate me. 8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to trust in man. 9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to trust in princes. 10 All the nations surround me. But in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them. 11 They surround me. Yes, they surround me. But in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them. 12 They surround me like bees. They are put out like the fire of thorns. In the name of the Lord, I will cut them off. 13 You have thrust hard at me so that I might fall. But the Lord helped me. 14 The Lord is my strength and song. He is my salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. The right hand of the Lord does mighty things. 16 The right hand of the Lord is lifted up. The right hand of the Lord does mighty things. 17 I will not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord. 18 The Lord has sorely chastened me. But He has not given me over to death. 19 Open the gates of righteousness to me. I will go into them and I will praise the Lord. 20 This is the gate of the Lord into which the righteous will enter. 21 I will praise you. For you have heard me and you are my salvation. 22 The Stone that the builders refused has become the head of the corner. 23 This is from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 I beseech you O Lord, to save now. I beseech you o Lord to cause us to prosper now. 26 Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. 27 God is the Lord who gives light to us. Tie the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. 28 You are my God and I will exalt you. You are my God and I will praise you. 29 Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. For His mercy endures forever.
