1O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; because unto eternity endureth his kindness. 2Let Israel then say so; because to eternity endureth his kindness. 3Let the house of Aaron then say so; because to eternity endureth his kindness. 4Let those who fear the Lord then say so; because to eternity endureth his kindness. 5From the midst of distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me with enlargement. 6The Lord is for me; I will not fear: what can a man do unto me? 7The Lord is for me, among those that help me: therefore shall I indeed look on the punishment of those that hate me. 8It is better to seek shelter with the Lord than to trust in man. 9It is better to seek shelter with the Lord than to trust in princes. 10All nations encompassed me about; but in the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off. 11They encompassed me about: yea, they compassed about, but in the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off. 12They encompassed me about like bees; they blazed up like the fire of thorns; but in the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off. 13Thou hast thrust violently at me that I might fall; but the Lord assisted me. 14My strength and song is the Lord, and he is become my salvation. 15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doth valiantly. 16The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doth valiantly. 17I shall not die, but I shall live, and relate the works of the Lord. 18Severely hath the Lord chastised me; but unto death hath he not given me up. 19Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them. I will give thanks unto the Lord. 20This is the gate which belongeth unto the Lord, the righteous shall enter thereby. 21I will thank thee: for thou but answered me, and art become my salvation. 22The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner–stone. 23From the Lord is this come to pass, it is marvelous in our eyes. 24This is the day which the Lord hath made, we will be glad and rejoice thereon. 25We beseech thee, O Lord, save us now: we beseech thee, O Lord, send us now prosperity. 26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we bless you out of the house of the Lord. 27God is the Lord, and he giveth us light: bind the festive sacrifice with cords, leading it up to the horns of the altar. 28Thou art my God, and I will thank thee: my God, I will exalt thee. 29Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; because to eternity endureth his kindness.
