¹ 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'² So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever,³ So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever.⁴ So let them now that fear the LORD say, for His mercy endureth for ever.⁵ Out of my straits I called upon the LORD; He answered me with great enlargement.⁶ The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?⁷ The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that 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 compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.¹¹ They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.¹² They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; ¹³ Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but the LORD helped me.¹⁴ The LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.¹⁶ The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.¹⁷ I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.¹⁸ The LORD hath chastened me sore; but He hath not given me over unto death.

¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD.²⁰ This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter into it.²¹ I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.²² The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.²³ This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.²⁴ This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.²⁵ We beseech Thee, O LORD, save now! We beseech Thee, O LORD, make us now to prosper!²⁶ Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we bless you out of the house of the LORD.²⁷ The LORD is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.²⁸ Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.²⁹ O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
