1 Rendei graças ao Senhor, porque ele é bom,

porque a sua misericórdia dura para sempre.

2 Diga, pois, Israel:

Sim, a sua misericórdia dura para sempre.

3 Diga, pois, a casa de Arão:

Sim, a sua misericórdia dura para sempre.

4 Digam, pois, os que temem ao Senhor:

Sim, a sua misericórdia dura para sempre.

5 Em meio à tribulação, invoquei o Senhor,

e o Senhor me ouviu e me deu folga.

6 O Senhor está comigo; não temerei.

Que me poderá fazer o homem?

7 O Senhor está comigo entre os que me ajudam;

por isso, verei cumprido o meu desejo nos que me odeiam.

8 Melhor é buscar refúgio no Senhor

do que confiar no homem.

9 Melhor é buscar refúgio no Senhor

do que confiar em príncipes.

10 Todas as nações me cercaram,

mas em nome do Senhor as destruí.

11 Cercaram-me, cercaram-me de todos os lados;

mas em nome do Senhor as destruí.

12 Como abelhas me cercaram,

porém como fogo em espinhos foram queimadas;

em nome do Senhor as destruí.

13 Empurraram-me violentamente para me fazer cair,

porém o Senhor me amparou.

14 O Senhor é a minha força e o meu cântico,

porque ele me salvou.

15 Nas tendas dos justos há voz de júbilo e de salvação;

a destra do Senhor faz proezas.

16 A destra do Senhor se eleva,

a destra do Senhor faz proezas.

17 Não morrerei; antes, viverei

e contarei as obras do Senhor.

18 O Senhor me castigou severamente,

mas não me entregou à morte.

19 Abri-me as portas da justiça;

entrarei por elas e renderei graças ao Senhor.

20 Esta é a porta do Senhor;

por ela entrarão os justos.

21 Render-te-ei graças porque me acudiste

e foste a minha salvação.

22 A pedra que os construtores rejeitaram,

essa veio a ser a principal pedra, angular;

23 isto procede do Senhor

e é maravilhoso aos nossos olhos.

24 Este é o dia que o Senhor fez;

regozijemo-nos e alegremo-nos nele.

25 Oh! Salva-nos, Senhor, nós te pedimos;

oh! Senhor, concede-nos prosperidade!

26 Bendito o que vem em nome do Senhor.

A vós outros da Casa do Senhor, nós vos abençoamos.

27 O Senhor é Deus, ele é a nossa luz;

adornai a festa com ramos até às pontas do altar.

28 Tu és o meu Deus, render-te-ei graças;

tu és o meu Deus, quero exaltar-te.

29 Rendei graças ao Senhor, porque ele é bom,

porque a sua misericórdia dura para sempre.

1 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

2 Let Israel now say,

That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

3 Let the house of Aaron now say,

That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

4 Let them now that fear Jehovah say,

That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

5 Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah:

Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place.

6 Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear:

What can man do unto me?

7 Jehovah is on my side among them that help me:

Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

8 It is better to take refuge in Jehovah

Than to put confidence in man.

9 It is better to take refuge in Jehovah

Than to put confidence in princes.

10 All nations compassed me about:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

12 They compassed me about like bees;

They are quenched as the fire of thorns:

In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

13 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;

But Jehovah helped me.

14 Jehovah is my strength and song;

And he is become my salvation.

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous:

The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted:

The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

17 I shall not die, but live,

And declare the works of Jehovah.

18 Jehovah hath chastened me sore;

But he hath not given me over unto death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness:

I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah.

20 This is the gate of Jehovah;

The righteous shall enter into it.

21 I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me,

And art become my salvation.

22 The stone which the builders rejected

Is become the head of the corner.

23 This is Jehovah’s doing;

It is marvellous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which Jehovah hath made;

We will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah:

O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah:

We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.

27 Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light:

Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

28 Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee:

Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

2 Let Israel say: "His love endures forever."

3 Let the house of Aaron say: "His love endures forever."

4 Let those who fear the LORD say: "His love endures forever."

5 When hard pressed, I cried to the LORD; he brought me into a spacious place.

6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

7 The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I look in triumph on my enemies.

8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in humans.

9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.

10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I cut them down.

11 They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them down.

12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them down.

13 I was pushed back and about to fall, but the LORD helped me.

14 The LORD is my strength and my defense "; he has become my salvation.

15 Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!

16 The LORD's right hand is lifted high; the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!"

17 I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

18 The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

19 Open for me the gates of the righteous; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.

20 This is the gate of the LORD through which the righteous may enter.

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

22 The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;

23 the LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.

25 LORD, save us! LORD, grant us success!

26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you. [^2]

27 The LORD is God, and he has made his light shine on us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up "to the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you.

29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
