_An exhortation to praise God for his mercy.—The psalmist by his
experience sheweth how good it is trust in God.—Under the type of the
psalmist, the coming of Christ in his kingdom is expressed._
O give thanks unto the LORD; for _he is_ good; because his mercy
_endureth_ for ever.
Let Israel now say, that his mercy _endureth_ for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy _endureth_ for ever.
Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy _endureth_ for
ever.
I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, _and set me_
in a large place.
The LORD _is_ on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see
_my desire_ upon them that hate me.
_It is_ better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man:
_It is_ better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in
princes.
All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I
destroy them.
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name
of the LORD I will destroy them.
They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of
thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
Thou hast thrust sore at me, that I might fall: but the LORD helped
me.
The LORD _is_ my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation _is_ in the tabernacles of the
righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD
doeth valiantly.
