An exhortation to praise God for his mercy.

1 ¶ O give thanksºª unto the LORD;º for² [he is] good:º because² his mercyº [endureth] for ever.º 2 Let Israelº now² say,ºª that² his mercyº [endureth] for ever.º 3 Let the houseº of Aaronº now² say,ºª that² his mercyº [endureth] for ever.º 4 Let them now² that fearº the LORDº say,ºª that² his mercyº [endureth] for ever.º

The psalmist by his experience sheweth how good it is to trust in God.

5 I called¹ª upon² the LORDº in² distress:º the LORDº answeredºª me, [and set me] in a large place.º 6 The LORDº [is] on my side; I will not² fear:ºª what² can¹ª manº doºª unto me? 7 The LORDº taketh my part with them that helpºª me: therefore shall I² seeºª [my desire] upon them that hateºª me. 8 [It is] betterº to trustºª in the LORDº than to put confidenceºª² in man.º 9 [It is] betterº to trustºª in the LORDº than to put confidenceºª² in princes.º 10 All² nationsº compassed me about:ºª but in the nameº of the LORDº will I destroyºª them. 11 They compassed me about;ºª yea,² they compassed me about:ºª but in the nameº of the LORDº I will destroyºª them. 12 They compassed me aboutºª like bees;º they are quenchedºª as the fireº of thorns:º for in the nameº of the LORDº I will destroyºª them. 13 Thou hast thrust¹ª soreºª at me that I might fall:ºª but the LORDº helpedºª me. 14 The LORDº [is] my strengthº and song,º and is become² my salvation.º 15 The voiceº of rejoicingº and salvationº [is] in the tabernaclesº of the righteous:º the right handº of the LORDº doethºª valiantly.º 16 The right handº of the LORDº is exalted:¹ª² the right handº of the LORDº doethºª valiantly.º 17 I shall not² die,ºª but² live,ºª and declareºª the worksº of the LORD.º 18 The LORDº hath chastened¹ª me sore:ºª but he hath not² given me overºª unto death.º

Under the type of the psalmist the coming of Christ in his Kingdom is expressed.

19 Openºª to me the gatesº of righteousness:º I will goºª into them, [and] I will praiseºª the LORD:º 20 This² gateº of the LORD,º into which the righteousº shall enter.ºª 21 I will praiseºª thee: for² thou hast heardºª me, and art become² my salvation.º 22 The stoneº [which] the buildersºª refusedºª is become² the headº [stone] of the corner.º 23 This² is² the LORD'Sº doing;²² it² [is] marvellousºª in our eyes.º 24 This² [is] the dayº [which] the LORDº hath made;ºª we will rejoiceºª and be gladºª in it. 25 Saveºª now,² I beseechº thee, O LORD:º O LORD,º I beseechº thee, send now² prosperity.ºª 26 Blessedºª [be] he that comethºª in the nameº of the LORD:º we have blessedºª you out of the houseº² of the LORD.º 27 Godº [is] the LORD,º which hath shewed us light:ºª bindºª the sacrificeº with cords,º [even] unto² the hornsº of the altar.º 28 Thou² [art] my God,º and I will praiseºª thee: [thou art] my God,º I will exaltºª thee. 29 O give thanksºª unto the LORD;º for² [he is] good:º for² his mercyº [endureth] for ever.º
