Praise to God for His Everlasting Mercy
1Oh, ⚓give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
⚓For His mercy endures forever.
2⚓Let Israel now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
3Let the house of Aaron now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
4Let those who fear the Lord now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
5⚓I called on the Lord in distress;
The Lord answered me and⚓set me in a broad place.
6⚓The Lordis on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
7⚓The Lord is for me among those who help me;
Therefore ⚓I shall see my desire on those who 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.
10All nations surrounded me,
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
11They ⚓surrounded me,
Yes, they surrounded me;
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12They surrounded me ⚓like bees;
They were quenched ⚓like a fire of thorns;
For in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
13You pushed me violently, that I might fall,
But the Lord helped me.
14⚓The Lordis my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
15The voice of rejoicing and salvation
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 shall not die, but live,
And ⚓declare the works of the Lord.
18The Lord has ⚓chastened me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.
19⚓Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord.
20⚓This is the gate of the Lord,
⚓Through which the righteous shall enter.
21I will praise You,
For You have ⚓answered me,
And have become my salvation.
22⚓The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
23This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
25Save now, I pray, O Lord;
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
26⚓Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
27God is the Lord,
And He has given us ⚓light;
Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
28You are my God, and I will praise You;
⚓You are my God, I will exalt You.
29Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
