The LORD Is on My Side

¹O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.+ ²Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.+ ³Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.+ ⁴Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.+ ⁵I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.+ ⁶The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?+ ⁷The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.+ ⁸It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.+ ⁹It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.+ ¹⁰All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.+ ¹¹They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.+ ¹²They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.+ ¹³Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.+ ¹⁴The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.+ ¹⁵The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.+ ¹⁶The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.+ ¹⁷I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.+ ¹⁸The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.+ ¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:+ ²⁰This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.+ ²¹I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.+ ²²The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.+ ²³This is the LORD’S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.+ ²⁴This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.+ ²⁵Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.+ ²⁶Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.+ ²⁷God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.+ ²⁸Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.+ ²⁹O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.+
