- 1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
- 2Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
- 3Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
- 4Now let those who fear the Lord say that his loving kindness endures forever.
- 5Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.
- 6The Lord is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
- 7The Lord is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.
- 8It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to put confidence in man.
- 9It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to put confidence in princes.
- 10All the nations surrounded me, but in the Lord’s name, I cut them off.
- 11They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the Lord’s name I indeed cut them off.
- 12They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the Lord’s name I cut them off.
- 13You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but the Lord helped me.
- 14Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation.
- 15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. “The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
- 16The right hand of the Lord is exalted! The right hand of the Lord does valiantly!”
- 17I will not die, but live, and declare Yah’s works.
- 18Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
- 19Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Yah.
- 20This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous will enter into it.
- 21I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation.
- 22The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.
- 23This is the Lord’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
- 24This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
- 25Save us now, we beg you, the Lord! The Lord, we beg you, send prosperity now.
- 26Blessed is he who comes in the Lord’s name! We have blessed you out of the Lord’s house.
- 27The Lord is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
- 28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.
- 29Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
