1
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
2
Let Israel now say, "His mercy endures forever."
3
Let the house of Aaron now say, "His mercy endures forever."
4
Let those who fear the Lord now say, "His mercy endures forever."
5
I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.
6
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
7
The Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.
8
It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man.
9
It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in princes.
10
All nations surrounded me, But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
11
They surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12
They surrounded me like bees; They were quenched like a fire of thorns; For in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
