1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,

2 Let Israel now say

3 Let the house of Aaron now say

4 Now let those who fear the LORD say

5 Out of my distress, I called on the LORD.

6 The LORD is on my side. I will not be afraid.

7 The LORD is on my side among those who help me.

8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD,

9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD,

10 All the nations surrounded me,

11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me.

12 They surrounded me like bees.

13 You pushed me back hard, to make me fall,

14 The LORD is my strength and song.

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous.

16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted!

17 I will not die, but live,

18 The LORD has punished me severely,

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness.

20 This is the gate of the LORD;

21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me,

22 The stone which the builders rejected

23 This is the LORD’s doing.

24 This is the day that the LORD has made.

25 Save us now, we beg you, LORD!

26 Blessed is he who comes in the LORD’s name!

27 The LORD is God, and he has given us light.

28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you.

29 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
