1Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his kindness endures forever.2Let Israel now say, "His kindness endures forever."3Let the house of Aaron now say, "His kindness endures forever."4Let those who fear the LORD now say, "His kindness endures forever."5Out of my distress I called upon the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.6The LORD is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?7The LORD is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.8It is good to take refuge in the LORD rather than to put trust in man.9It is good to take refuge in the LORD rather than to put trust in princes.10All the nations surrounded me; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.11They surrounded me; yes, they surrounded me; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.12They surrounded me like bees; they were quenched like a fire among thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.13I was pushed hard so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me.14The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.15There are shouts of joy and salvation 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 shall not die but live, and I will recount the deeds of the LORD.18The LORD has chastened me, but he has not handed me over to death.19Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD.20This is the gate that belongs to the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it.21I thank you because you have answered me and have become my salvation.22The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.23This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.24This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.25O LORD, save, we pray! O LORD, grant success, we pray!26Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD; we bless you from the house of the LORD.27The LORD is God, and he has given us light; bind the festal sacrifice with cords up to the horns of the altar.28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; my God, I will exalt you.29Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his kindness endures forever.
