1  Oh ^tgive thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

for his steadfast love endures forever!

2  ^uLet Israel say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

3  Let the house of Aaron say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

4  Let those who fear the Lord say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

5  ^vOut of my distress I called on the Lord;

the Lord answered me and set me free.

6  ^wThe Lord is ^xon my side; ^yI will not fear.

What can man do to me?

7  The Lord is on my side as my helper;

I shall ^zlook in triumph on those who hate me.

8  It is better to take refuge in the Lord

than to trust in man.

9  It is better to take refuge in the Lord

^athan to trust in princes.

10  All nations surrounded me;

in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

11  They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;

in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

12  They surrounded me ^blike bees;

they went out like a fire among thorns;

in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

13  I was pushed hard,¹ so that I was falling,

but the Lord helped me.

14  ^cThe Lord is my strength and my song;

he has become my salvation.

15  Glad songs of salvation

are in the tents of the righteous:

“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly,

16  the right hand of the Lord exalts,

the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!”

17  ^dI shall not die, but I shall live,

and ^erecount the deeds of the Lord.

18  The Lord has ^fdisciplined me severely,

but he has not given me over to death.

19  Open to me the gates of righteousness,

that I may enter through them

and ^ggive thanks to the Lord.

20  This is the gate of the Lord;

the righteous shall enter through it.

21  ^hI thank you that you have answered me

and have become my salvation.

22  ⁱThe stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.²

23  This is the Lord’s doing;

it is marvelous in our eyes.

24  This is the day that the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.

25  ^jSave us, we pray, O Lord!

O Lord, we pray, give us success!

26  ^kBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

We bless you from the house of the Lord.

27  The Lord is God,

and he has ^lmade his light to shine upon us.

Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,

up to the horns of the altar!

28  You are my God, and ^mI will give thanks to you;

ⁿyou are my God; I will extol you.

29  Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
