¹ Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever. ² Let Yisra'el now say That his lovingkindness endures forever. ³ Let the house of Aharon now say That his lovingkindness endures forever. ⁴ Now let those who fear the LORD say That his lovingkindness endures forever. ⁵ Out of my distress, I called on the LORD. The LORD answered me with freedom. ⁶ The LORD is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? ⁷ The LORD is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me. ⁸ It is better to take refuge in the LORD, Than to put confidence in man. ⁹ It is better to take refuge in the LORD, Than to put confidence in princes. ¹⁰ All the nations surrounded me, But in the name of the LORD, I cut them off. ¹¹ They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of the LORD I indeed cut them off. ¹² They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of the LORD I cut them off. ¹³ You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, But the LORD helped me. ¹⁴ The LORD is my strength and song. He has become my yeshu`ah. <sup>15</sup> The voice of rejoicing and yeshu`ah 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 declare the LORD's works. ¹⁸ The LORD has punished me severely, But he has not given me over to death.

¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to the LORD. ²⁰ This is the gate of the LORD; The righteous will enter into it. ²¹ I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, And have become my yeshu`ah. ²² The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. ²³ This is the LORD's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. ²⁴ This is the day that the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it! ²⁵ Save us now, we beg you, LORD; LORD, we beg you, now send prosperity. ²⁶ Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. ²⁷ The LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. ²⁸ You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you. ²⁹ Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever.
