1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.
2 Let Israel now say, "His steadfast love endures forever."
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, "His steadfast love endures forever."
4 Let those who fear the LORD now say, "His steadfast love endures forever."
5 From my distress I called to the LORD; the LORD answered me and brought me into a spacious place.
6 The LORD is for me; I will not be afraid. What can a man do to me?
7 The LORD is for me as my helper, and I will look upon those who hate me.
8 Better to take shelter in the LORD than to rely on man.
9 Better to take shelter in the LORD than to rely on nobles.
10 All nations encircled me; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
11 They encircled me, yes, they encircled me; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
12 They swarmed around me like bees; they were snuffed out like a fire of thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
13 You pushed me hard to make me fall, but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
15 A sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: "The right hand of the LORD acts mightily;
16 the right hand of the LORD is lifted high; the right hand of the LORD acts mightily."
17 I will not die, but live, and tell of the deeds of the LORD.
18 The LORD has disciplined me hard, but he has not handed me over to death.
19 Open the gates of righteousness for me; I will go in through them and thank the LORD.
20 This is the LORD's gate; the righteous will go in through it.
21 I thank you that you answered me and have become my salvation.
22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.
23 This came from the LORD; it is wonderful in our eyes.
24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it.
25 Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, grant us success!
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! From the house of the LORD we bless you.
27 The LORD is God, and he has shone on us. Tie the festival sacrifice with ropes to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will thank you; my God, I will exalt you.
29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.
