The Book of Psalms

 1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

 2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

 3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

 4 Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

 5 I called upon the Lord in ^adistress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a ^blarge place.

 6 The Lord is on my side; I will not ^afear: what can man do unto me?

 7 The ^aLord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my ^bdesire upon them that hate me.

 8 It is better to ^atrust in the Lord than to put ^bconfidence in man.

 9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.

 10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.

 11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

 12 They compassed me about like ^abees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

 13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.

 14 The Lord is my ^astrength and song, and is become my ^bsalvation.

 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the ^atabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

 16 The right ^ahand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

 18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:

 20 This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.

 21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

 22 The ^astone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the ^bcorner.

 23 This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

 24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will ^arejoice and be glad in it.

 25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

 26 ^aBlessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

 27 God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

 28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

 29 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
