Oh let Israel say,"His lovingkindness endures forever."

Oh let the house of Aaron say,"His lovingkindness endures forever."

Oh let those who fear Yahweh say,"His lovingkindness endures forever."

Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good;For His lovingkindness endures forever.

How blessed are those who observe His testimonies,They seek Him with all their heart.

They also do not work unrighteousness;They walk in His ways.

How can a young man keep his way pure?By keeping it according to Your word.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,So Yahweh surrounds His peopleFrom now until forever.

He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves with him.

It is in vain that you rise up early,That you sit out late,O you who eat the bread of painful labors;For in this manner, He gives sleep to His beloved.

How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them;They will not be ashamedWhen they speak with enemies in the gate.

How blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,Who walks in His ways.

With which the reaper does not fill his hand,Nor the binder of sheaves the fold of his garment;

I hope for Yahweh, my soul does hope,And for His word do I wait.

And it is He who will redeem IsraelFrom all his iniquities.

Surely I have soothed and quieted my soul,Like a weaned child with his mother,Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Remember, O Yahweh, on David's behalf,All his affliction;

Let us come into His dwelling place;Let us worship at the footstool of His feet.

For Yahweh has chosen Zion;He has desired it for His habitation.

His enemies I will clothe with shame,But upon him, his crown shall blossom."
