8,6,8,6 ^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. |
