1O give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, for his loving kindness is forever. 2Let Israel now say that his loving kindness is forever. 3Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness is forever. 4Let those now who fear Jehovah say that his loving kindness is forever. 5Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah. Jehovah answered me upon a large place. 6Jehovah is on my side, I will not fear. What can man do to me? 7Jehovah is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I shall look upon those who hate me. 8It is better to take refuge in Jehovah than to put confidence in man. 9It is better to take refuge in Jehovah than to put confidence in rulers. 10All nations encompassed me around. In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off. 11They encompassed me around, yea, they encompassed me around. In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off. 12They encompassed me around like bees. They are quenched as the fire of thorns. In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off. 13Thou thrusted greatly at me that I might fall, but Jehovah helped me. 14Jehovah is 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 Jehovah does valiantly. 16The right hand of Jehovah is exalted. The right hand of Jehovah does valiantly. 17I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jehovah. 18Jehovah has chastened me greatly, but he has not given me over to death. 19Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Jehovah. 20This is the gate of Jehovah. The righteous shall enter into it. 21I will give thanks to thee, for thou have answered me, and have become my salvation. 22The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. 23This is Jehovah's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. 24This is the day which Jehovah has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. 25Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah. O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity. 26Blessed be he who comes in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah. 27Jehovah is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. 28Thou are my God, and I will give thanks to thee. Thou are my God, I will exalt thee. 29O give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, for his loving kindness is forever.
