Praise to God for His Everlasting Mercy
Oh, agive thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
bFor His mercy endures forever.
2 aLet Israel now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
3 Let the house of Aaron now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
4 Let those who fear the Lord now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
5 aI called on the Lord in distress;
The Lord answered me and bset me in a broad place.
6 aThe Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
7 aThe Lord is for me among those who help me;
Therefore bI shall see my desire on those who hate me.
8 aIt is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in man.
9 aIt is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations surrounded me,
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
11 They asurrounded me,
Yes, they surrounded me;
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12 They surrounded me alike bees;
They were quenched blike a fire of thorns;
For in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
13 You pushed me violently, that I might fall,
But the Lord helped me.
14 aThe Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation
Is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16 aThe right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
17 aI shall not die, but live,
And bdeclare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord has achastened me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.
19 aOpen to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord.
20 aThis is the gate of the Lord,
bThrough which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise You,
For You have aanswered me,
And have become my salvation.
22 aThe stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I pray, O Lord;
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
26 aBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
27 God is the Lord,
And He has given us alight;
Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will praise You;
aYou are my God, I will exalt You.
29 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
