1O give thanks to LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness [is] forever. 2Let Israel now say that his loving kindness [is] forever. 3Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness [is] forever. 4Let those now who fear LORD say that his loving kindness [is] forever. 5Out of my distress I called upon LORD. LORD answered me upon a large place. 6LORD is on my side, I will not fear. What can man do to me? 7LORD is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I shall look upon those who hate me. 8It is better to take refuge in LORD than to put confidence in man. 9It is better to take refuge in LORD than to put confidence in rulers. 10All nations encompassed me around. In the name of LORD I will cut them off. 11They encompassed me around, yea, they encompassed me around. In the name of LORD I will cut them off. 12They encompassed me around like bees. They are quenched as the fire of thorns. In the name of LORD I will cut them off. 13Thou thrusted greatly at me that I might fall, but LORD helped me. 14LORD is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. 15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. The right hand of LORD does valiantly. 16The right hand of LORD is exalted. The right hand of LORD does valiantly. 17I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of LORD. 18LORD has chastened me greatly, but he has not given me over to death. 19Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to LORD. 20This is the gate of LORD. The righteous shall enter into it. 21I will give thanks to thee, for thou have answered me, and have become my salvation. 22The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. 23This is LORD's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. 24This is the day which LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. 25Save now, we beseech thee, O LORD. O LORD, we beseech thee, send now prosperity. 26Blessed be he who comes in the name of LORD. We have blessed you out of the house of LORD. 27LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. 28Thou are my God, and I will give thanks to thee. Thou are my God, I will exalt thee. 29O give thanks to LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness [is] forever.
