1: Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever. 2: Let Israel now say That his lovingkindness endures forever. 3: Let the house of Aaron now say That his lovingkindness endures forever. 4: Now let those who fear Yahweh say That his lovingkindness endures forever. 5: Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom. 6: Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 7: Yahweh is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me. 8: It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, Than to put confidence in man. 9: It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, Than to put confidence in princes. 10: All the nations surrounded me, But in the name of Yahweh, I cut them off. 11: They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of Yahweh I indeed cut them off. 12: They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of Yahweh I cut them off. 13: You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, But Yahweh helped me. 14: Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. 15: The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. "The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly. 16: The right hand of Yahweh is exalted! The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly!" 17: I will not die, but live, And declare Yah's works. 18: Yah has punished me severely, But he has not given me over to death. 19: Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Yah. 20: This is the gate of Yahweh; The righteous will enter into it. 21: I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, And have become my salvation. 22: The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. 23: This is Yahweh's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. 24: This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it! 25: Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh; Yahweh, we beg you, now send prosperity. 26: Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh! We have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh. 27: Yahweh is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. 28: You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you. 29: Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever.
