1 ¶ O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
|
|
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
|
|
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
|
|
4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
|
|
5 I called upon the LORD in distress:1 the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
|
|
6 The LORD is on2 my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
|
|
7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: 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 compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy3 them.
|
|
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
|
|
12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy4 them.
|
|
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
|
|
14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
|
|
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles 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 go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
|
|
20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
|
|
21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
|
|
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
|
|
23 This is the LORD'S5 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 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
|
|
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
|
|
27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
|
|
28 Thou art my God, and I will praise 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.
