I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people,

in the courts of the Lord’s temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord, all you nations! Applaud him, all you foreigners!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good and his loyal love endures!

Let the loyal followers of the Lord say, “Yes, his loyal love endures!”

The Lord is on my side, I am not afraid! What can people do to me?

All the nations surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.

They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.

This is the Lord’s work. We consider it amazing!

This is the day the Lord has brought about. We will be happy and rejoice in it.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good and his loyal love endures!

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried out to the Lord and he answered me.

I said, “O Lord, rescue me from those who lie with their lips and those who deceive with their tongue.

The Lord will protect you from all harm; he will protect your life.

The Lord will protect you in all you do, now and forevermore.

For the sake of the temple of the Lord our God I will pray for you to prosper.

Show us favor, O Lord, show us favor! For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some.

if the Lord had not been on our side, when men attacked us,

Yes, sons are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward.

Yes indeed, the man who fears the Lord will be blessed in this way.
