1O praise the Lord, for he is good;
his mercy lasteth ever.
2Let those of Israel now say,
His mercy faileth never.
|
|
3Now let the house of Aaron say,
His mercy lasteth ever.
4Let those that fear the Lord now say,
His mercy faileth never.
|
|
5I in distress call'd on the Lord;
the Lord did answer me:
He
in a large place did me set,
from trouble made me free.
|
|
6The mighty Lord is on my side,
I will not be afraid;
For
any thing that man can do
I shall not be dismay'd.
|
|
7The Lord doth take my part with them
that help to succour me:
Therefore
on those that do me hate
I my desire shall see.
|
|
8Better it is to trust in God
than trust in man's defence;
9Better to trust in God than make
princes our confidence.
|
|
10The nations, joining all in one,
did compass me about:
But
in the Lord's most holy name
I shall them all root out.
|
|
11They compass'd me about; I say,
they compass'd me about:
But
in the Lord's most holy name
I shall them all root out.
|
|
12Like bees they compass'd me about;
like unto thorns that flame
They
quenched are: for them shall I
destroy in God's own name.
|
|
13Thou sore hast thrust, that I might fall,
but my Lord helped me.
14God my salvation is become,
my strength and song is he.
|
|
15In dwellings of the righteous
is heard the melody
Of
joy and health: the Lord's right hand
doth ever valiantly.
|
|
16The right hand of the mighty Lord
exalted is on high;
The
right hand of the mighty Lord
doth ever valiantly.
|
|
17I shall not die, but live, and shall
the works of God discover.
18The Lord hath me chastised sore,
but not to death giv'n over.
|
|
19O set ye open unto me
the gates of righteousness;
Then
will I enter into them,
and I the Lord will bless.
|
|
20This is the gate of God, by it
the just shall enter in.
21Thee will I praise, for thou me heard'st
and hast my safety been.
|
|
22That stone is made head corner-stone,
which builders did despise:
23This is the doing of the Lord,
and wondrous in our eyes.
|
|
24This is the day God made, in it
we'll joy triumphantly.
25Save now, I pray thee, Lord; I pray,
send now prosperity.
|
|
26Blessed is he in God's great name
that cometh us to save:
We,
from the house which to the Lord
pertains, you blessed have.
|
|
27God is the Lord, who unto us
hath made light to arise:
Bind
ye unto the altar's horns
with cords the sacrifice.
|
|
28Thou art my God, I'll thee exalt;
my God, I will thee praise.
29Give thanks to God, for he is good:
his mercy lasts always.
