1Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
2Let Israel now say
3Let the house of Aaron now say
4Now let those who fear the LORD say
5Out of my distress, I called on the LORD.
6The LORD is on my side. I will not be afraid.
7The LORD is on my side amongst those who help me.
8It is better to take refuge in the LORD,
9It is better to take refuge in the LORD,
10All the nations surrounded me,
11They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me.
12They surrounded me like bees.
13You pushed me back hard, to make me fall,
14The LORD is my strength and song.
15The voice of rejoicing and salvation [yeshu`ah] is in the tents of the righteous.
16The right hand of the LORD is exalted!
17I will not die, but live,
18The LORD has punished me severely,
19Open to me the gates of righteousness.
20This is the gate of the LORD;
21I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me,
22The stone which the builders rejected
23This is the LORD’s doing.
24This is the day that the LORD has made.
25Save us now, we beg you, LORD!
26Blessed is he who comes in the LORD’s name!
27The LORD is God, and he has given us light.
28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you.
29Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
