[1] Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

[2] Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.

[3] Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.

[4] Now let those who fear the LORD say that his loving kindness 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 LORD’s name, I cut them off.

[11] They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the LORD’s name I indeed cut them off.

[12] They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the LORD’s name 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 salvation [yeshu`ah].

[15] The voice of rejoicing and salvation [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 salvation [yeshu`ah].

[22] The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

[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, send prosperity now.

[26] Blessed is he who comes in the LORD’s name! We have blessed you out of the LORD’s house.

[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 loving kindness endures forever.
