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: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
- 6
The Lord is on 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 destroy 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 destroy 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’s 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.
