1 Give thanks to the LORD, who is good, whose love endures forever.	1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the house of Israel say: God's love endures forever.	2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron say, God's love endures forever.	3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Let those who fear the LORD say, God's love endures forever.	4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5 In danger I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free.	5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The LORD is with me; I am not afraid; what can mortals do against me?	6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The LORD is with me as my helper; I shall look in triumph on my foes.	7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 Better to take refuge in the LORD than to put one's trust in mortals.	8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9 Better to take refuge in the LORD than to put one's trust in princes.	9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me; in the LORD'S name I crushed them.	10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11 They surrounded me on every side; in the LORD'S name I crushed them.	11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12 They surrounded me like bees; they blazed like fire among thorns; in the LORD'S name I crushed them.	12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13 I was hard pressed and falling, but the LORD came to my help.	13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD, my strength and might, came to me as savior.	14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The joyful shout of deliverance is heard in the tents of the victors: "The LORD'S right hand strikes with power;	15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
16 the LORD'S right hand is raised; the LORD'S right hand strikes with power."	16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die but live and declare the deeds of the LORD.	17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD chastised me harshly, but did not hand me over to death.	18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open the gates of victory; I will enter and thank the LORD.	19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
20 This is the LORD'S own gate, where the victors enter.	20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I thank you for you answered me; you have been my savior.	21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22 The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.	22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23 By the LORD has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes.	23 This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad.	24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 LORD, grant salvation! LORD, grant good fortune!	25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. We bless you from the LORD'S house.	26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
27 The LORD is God and has given us light. Join in procession with leafy branches up to the horns of the altar.	27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, I give you thanks; my God, I offer you praise.	28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29 Give thanks to the LORD, who is good, whose love endures forever.	29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
