O give thanks unto the LORD, for | he is gracious;

* because his | mercy• en•dureth• for ever.

2 Let Israel now confess that | he is gracious,

* and that his | mercy• en•dureth• for ever.

3 Let the house of Aaron | now confess,

* that his | mercy• en•dureth• for ever.

4 Yea, let them now that fear the | LORD confess,

* that his | mercy• en•dureth• for ever.

5 I called upon the | LORD in trouble;

* and the LORD | heard me at large.

6 The LORD is | on my side;

* I will not fear what | man •doeth• unto me.

7 The LORD taketh my part with | them that help me;

* therefore shall I see my de- | -sire upon mine enemies.

8 It is better to trust | in the LORD,

* than to put any | confidence in man.

9 It is better to trust | in the LORD,

* than to put any | confidence in princes.

10 All nations compassed me | round about;

* but in the Name of the | LORD will I destroy them.

11 They kept me in on every side, they kept me in, I say, on | every side;

* but in the Name of the | LORD will I destroy them.

12 They came about me like bees, and are extinct even as the fire a- | -mong the 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 was my help.

14 The LORD is my strength, | and my song;

* and is be- | -come my salvation.

15 The voice of joy and health is in the dwellings | of the righteous;

* the right hand of the LORD bringeth | mighty things to pass.

16 The right hand of the LORD | hath •the pre•eminence;

* the right hand of the LORD bringeth | mighty things to pass.

17 I shall not | die, but live,

* and declare the | works of the LORD.

18 The LORD hath chastened and cor- | -rected me;

* but he hath not given me | over unto death.

19 Open me the | gates of righteousness,

* that I may go into them, and give | thanks •unto• the LORD.

20 This is the gate | of the LORD,

* the righteous shall | enter into it.

21 I will thank thee; for | thou hast heard me,

* and art be- | -come my salvation.

22 The same stone which the | builders• refused,

* is become the | head-stone in the corner.

23 This is the | LORD's doing,

* and it is | marvel•lous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which the | LORD hath made;

* we will rejoice | and be glad in it.

25 Help me | now, O LORD:

* O LORD, | send us now prosperity.

26 Blessed be he who enters in the name | of the LORD:

* We bless you from the | house of the LORD.

27 God is the LORD, who hath | showed us light:

* bind the sacrifice with cords, yea, even unto the | horns of the altar.

28 Thou art my God, and | I will thank thee;

* thou art my | God, and I will praise thee.

29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for | he is gracious,

* and his | mercy• en•dureth• for ever.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
