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 LORDS 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.
