1  ^fOh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

for his steadfast love endures forever!

2  ^gLet Israel say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

3  ^gLet the house of Aaron say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

4  ^gLet those who fear the Lord say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

5  ^hOut of my distress I ⁱcalled on the Lord;

the Lord answered me and set me ^jfree.

6  ^kThe Lord is on my side; ^lI will not fear.

What can man do to me?

7  ^mThe Lord is on my side as my helper;

I shall ⁿlook in triumph on those who hate me.

8  ^oIt is better to take refuge in the Lord

^pthan to trust in man.

9  It is better to take refuge in the Lord

^pthan to trust in princes.

17  ^xI shall not die, but I shall live,

and ^yrecount the deeds of the Lord.

18  The Lord has ^zdisciplined me severely,

but he has not given me over to death.

19  ^aOpen to me the gates of righteousness,

that I may enter through them

and give thanks to the Lord.

20  This is the gate of the Lord;

^bthe righteous shall enter through it.

21  I thank you that ^cyou have answered me

^uand have become my salvation.

22  ^dThe stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.¹

23  This is the Lord’s doing;

it is marvelous in our eyes.

24  This is the day that the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.

25  Save us, we pray, O Lord!

O Lord, we pray, give us success!
