1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,a

his mercy endures forever.

2Let Israel say:

his mercy endures forever.

3Let the house of Aaron say,

his mercy endures forever.

4Let those who fear the Lord say,b

his mercy endures forever.

5In danger I called on the Lord;

the Lord answered me and set me free.

6The Lord is with me; I am not afraid;

what can mortals do against me?c

7The Lord is with me as my helper;

I shall look in triumph on my foes.

8Better to take refuge in the Lordd

than to put one’s trust in mortals.

9Better to take refuge in the Lord

than to put one’s trust in princes.

10All the nations surrounded me;

in the Lord’s name I cut them off.

11They surrounded me on every side;

in the Lord’s name I cut them off.

12They surrounded me like bees;e

they burned up like fire among thorns;

in the Lord’s name I cut them off.

13I was hard pressed and falling,

but the Lord came to my help.f

14The Lord, my strength and might,

has become my savior.g

15The joyful shout of deliverance

is heard in the tents of the righteous:

“The Lord’s right hand works valiantly;

16the Lord’s right hand is raised;

the Lord’s right hand works valiantly.”

17I shall not die but live

and declare the deeds of the Lord.

18The Lord chastised me harshly,

but did not hand me over to death.

19Open the gates of righteousness;

I will enter and thank the Lord.h

20This is the Lord’s own gate,

through it the righteous enter.

21I thank you for you answered me;

you have been my savior.

22*The stone the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.i

23By the Lord has this been done;

it is wonderful in our eyes.

24This is the day the Lord has made;

let us rejoice in it and be glad.

25Lord, grant salvation!*

Lord, grant good fortune!

26Blessed is he

who comes in the name of the Lord.j

We bless you from the house of the Lord.

27The Lord is God and has enlightened us.

Join in procession with leafy branches

up to the horns of the altar.

28You are my God, I give you thanks;

my God, I offer you praise.

29Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

his mercy endures forever.
