Give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
2Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
3Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
5Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.
6Jehovah is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
7Jehovah is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at 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 princes.
10All the nations surrounded me, but in Jehovah’s name I cut them off.
11They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In Jehovah’s name I indeed cut them off.
12They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In Jehovah’s name I cut them off.
13You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but Jehovah helped me.
14Yah is my strength and song. 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 will not die, but live, and declare Yah’s works.
18Yah has punished me severely, 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 Yah.
20This is the gate of Jehovah; the righteous will enter into it.
21I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation.
22The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
23This is Jehovah’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day that Jehovah has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
25Save us now, we beg you, Jehovah! Jehovah, we beg you, send prosperity now.
26Blessed is he who comes in Jehovah’s name! We have blessed you out of Jehovah’s house.
27Jehovah is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.
