1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting. 2 Oh let Israel say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.” 3 Oh let the house of Aaron say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.” 4 Oh let those whoa Or reverefear the LORD say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.” |
5 From my distress I called uponb Heb Yahthe LORD;
c Heb YahThe 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;
Therefore I will look with satisfaction on those who hate me. 8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust in man. 9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust in princes. |
10 All nations surrounded me;
In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. 11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. 12 They surrounded me like bees;
They were extinguished as a fire of thorns;
In the name of the LORD I will surely cut them off. 13 You pushed me violently so that Id Or fellwas falling,
But the LORD helped me. 14 e Heb YahThe LORD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation. |
15 The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. 16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted;
The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. 17 I will not die, but live,
And tell of the works off Heb Yahthe LORD. 18 g Heb YahThe LORD has disciplined me severely,
But He has not given me over to death. |
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks toh Heb Yahthe LORD. 20 This is the gate of the LORD;
The righteous will enter through it. 21 I shall give thanks to You, for You have answered me,
And You have become my salvation. |
22 The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone. 23 This isi Lit from the Lordthe LORD’S doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day which the LORD has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it. 25 O LORD, do save, we beseech You;
O LORD, we beseech You, do send prosperity! 26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD;
We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. 27 The LORD is God, and He has given us light;
Bind the festival sacrifice with cordsj Lit untoto the horns of the altar. 28 You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
You are my God, I extol You. 29 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting. |
