- 1
- ¶ O GIVE thanks to the LORD;
for he is good and his mercy endures for ever.
- 2
- Let Israel now say that his mercy endures for ever.
- 3
- Let the house of Aaron now say that his mercy endures for ever.
- 4
- Let them that worship the LORD say that his mercy endures for ever.
- 5
- Out of my distress I called upon the LORD;
the LORD answered me and relieved me.
- 6
- The LORD is my help, I will not fear;
what can man do to me?
- 7
- The LORD is my helper;
therefore shall I see my desire upon them that 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;
yea, they surrounded me; but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
- 12
- They surrounded me like hornets;
they are quenched like the fire of stubble; for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
- 13
- I have been repelled that I might be overthrown and fall;
but the LORD helped me.
- 14
- The LORD is my strength and song, and has become my salvation.
- 15
- The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous;
the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
- 16
- The right hand of the LORD has exalted me;
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 into them, and I will praise the LORD.
- 20
- This is the gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
- 21
- I will give thanks to thee;
for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
- 22
- The stone which the builders rejected has become the headstone of the corner.
- 23
- This is the LORD’S doing;
it is marvellous in our eyes.
- 24
- This is the day which the LORD has made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
- 25
- Save me, O LORD;
O LORD, deliver me.
- 26
- Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD;
we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
- 27
- O LORD, our God, enlighten us;
bind our festival processions as an unbroken chain, even to the horns of the altar.
- 28
- Thou art my God, and I will give thanks to thee;
thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
- 29
- O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
for his mercy endures for ever.
