1O give thanks unto the LORD ; for he is good : because his mercy endureth for ever . 2Let Israel now say , that his mercy endureth for ever . 3Let the house of Aaron now say , that his mercy endureth for ever . 4Let them now that fear the LORD say , that his mercy endureth for ever .
The Lord is My Strength and Song
5I called upon the LORD in distress : the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place . 6The LORD is on my side; I will not fear : what can man do unto me? 7The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 8It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man . 9It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes .
The Stone the Builders Rejected
10All nations compassed me about : but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 11They compassed me about ; yea, they compassed me about : but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 12They compassed me about like bees ; they are quenched as the fire of thorns : for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 13Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall : but the LORD helped me. 14The LORD is my strength and song , and is become my salvation . 15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous : the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly . 16The right hand of the LORD is exalted : the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly . 17I shall not die , but live , and declare the works of the LORD . 18The LORD hath chastened me sore : but he hath not given me over unto death . 19Open to me the gates of righteousness : I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD : 20This gate of the LORD , into which the righteous shall enter . 21I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation .
A Day of Salvation
22The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner . 23This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes . 24This is the day which the LORD hath made ; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD : O LORD , I beseech thee, send now prosperity . 26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD : we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD . 27God is the LORD , which hath shewed us light : bind the sacrifice with cords , even unto the horns of the altar . 28Thou art my God , and I will praise thee: thou art my God , I will exalt thee. 29O give thanks unto the LORD ; for he is good : for his mercy endureth for ever .
