[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 LORD'S 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.
