1Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.

2Let Israel say,
“His covenant faithfulness endures forever.”

3Let the house of Aaron say,
“His covenant faithfulness endures forever.”

4Let the loyal followers of Yahweh say,
“His covenant faithfulness endures for ever.”

5In my distress I called out to Yahweh;
Yahweh answered me and set me free.

6Yahweh is with me; I will not be afraid;
what can man do to me?

7Yahweh is on my side as my helper;
I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

8It is better to take shelter in Yahweh
than to put confidence in man.

9It is better to take refuge in Yahweh
than to put one's trust in a princes.

10All the nations surrounded me;
in Yahweh's name I cut them off.

11They surrounded me; yes, they surrounded me;
in Yahweh's name I cut them off.

12They surrounded me like bees;
they disappeared as quickly as fire among thorns;
in Yahweh's name I cut them off.

13They attacked me to knock me down,
but Yahweh helped me.

14Yahweh is my strength and joy,
and he is the one who rescues me.

15The joyful shout of victory is heard in the tents of the righteous;
the right hand of Yahweh conquers.

16The right hand of Yahweh is exalted;
the right hand of Yahweh conquers.

17I will not die, but live
and declare the deeds of Yahweh.

18Yahweh has punished me harshly;
but he has not handed me over to death.

19Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will enter them and I will give thanks to Yahweh.

20This is the gate of Yahweh;
the righteous enter through it.

21I will give thanks to you, for you answered me,
and you have become my salvation.

22The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.

23This is Yahweh's doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.

24This is the day on which Yahweh has acted;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25Please, Yahweh, give us victory!
Please, Yahweh, give us success!

26Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh;
we bless you from the house of Yahweh.

27Yahweh is God, and he has given us light;
bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.

28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
you are my God; I will exalt you.

29Oh, give thanks to Yahweh; for he is good;
for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
