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