1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures for ever. 2 Let Israel say: ‘His love endures for ever.’ 3 Let the house of Aaron say: ‘His love endures for ever.’ 4 Let those who fear the Lord say: ‘His love endures for ever.’ 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 defence^[1]; 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 marvellous 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^[3] 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 for ever.

New International Reader’s Version

from Biblica

1 Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever. 2 Let the people of Israel say, ‘His faithful love continues for ever.’ 3 Let the priests of Aaron say, ‘His faithful love continues for ever.’ 4 Let those who have respect for the LORD say, ‘His faithful love continues for ever.’ 5 When I was in great trouble, I cried out to the LORD. He answered me and set me free from my trouble. 6 The LORD is with me. I will not be afraid. What can mere human beings do to me? 7 The LORD is with me. He helps me. I win the battle over my enemies. 8 It is better to go to the LORD for safety than to trust in mere human beings. 9 It is better to go to the LORD for safety than to trust in human leaders. 10 The nations were all around me. But by the LORD’s power I destroyed them. 11 They were around me on every side. But by the LORD’s power I destroyed them. 12 They attacked me like swarms of bees. But they were burned up as quickly as thorns in a fire. By the LORD’s power I destroyed them. 13 I was pushed back and about to be killed. But the LORD helped me. 14 The LORD gives me strength and makes me secure. He has saved me. 15 Shouts of joy ring out in the tents of godly people. They praise him for his help in battle. They shout, ‘The LORD’s powerful right hand has done mighty things! 16 The LORD’s powerful right hand has won the battle! The LORD’s powerful right hand has done mighty things!’ 17 I will not die but live. I will talk about what the LORD has done. 18 The LORD has really punished me. But he didn’t let me die. 19 Open for me the gates where the godly can go in. I will enter and give thanks to the LORD. 20 This is the gate of the LORD. Only those who do what is right can go through it. 21 LORD, I will give thanks to you, because you answered me. You have saved me. 22 The stone the builders didn’t accept has become the most important stone of all. 23 The LORD has done it. It is wonderful in our eyes. 24 The LORD has done it on this day. Let us be joyful today and be glad. 25 LORD, save us. LORD, give us success. 26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD. From the temple of the LORD we bless you. 27 The LORD is God. He has been good to us. Take branches in your hands. Join in the march on the day of the feast. March up to the corners of the altar. 28 You are my God, and I will praise you. You are my God, and I will honour you. 29 Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever.

King James Version

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

Danklied auf den Herrn und Dankfest im Tempel

1 Dankt dem HERRN, denn er ist gut, denn seine Huld währt ewig! (Ps 107:1) 2 So soll Israel sagen: Denn seine Huld währt ewig. (Ps 115:9; Ps 135:19) 3 So soll das Haus Aaron sagen: Denn seine Huld währt ewig. 4 So sollen sagen, die den HERRN fürchten: Denn seine Huld währt ewig. 5 Aus der Bedrängnis rief ich zum HERRN, der HERR antwortete und schuf mir Weite. 6 Der HERR ist für mich, ich fürchte mich nicht. Was können Menschen mir antun? (Ps 56:5; Heb 13:6) 7 Der HERR ist für mich, er ist mein Helfer; ich kann herabschauen auf meine Hasser. (Ps 54:6) 8 Besser, sich zu bergen beim HERRN, als zu vertrauen auf Menschen. (Ps 62:6; Ps 146:3; Jer 17:5) 9 Besser, sich zu bergen beim HERRN, als zu vertrauen auf Fürsten. 10 Alle Völker umringten mich, ich wehrte sie ab im Namen des HERRN. 11 Sie umringten, ja, sie umringten mich, ich wehrte sie ab im Namen des HERRN. 12 Sie umringten mich wie Bienen, / sie verloschen wie ein Feuer im Dorngestrüpp; ich wehrte sie ab im Namen des HERRN. (De 1:44) 13 Du stießest mich, / ja, du stießest mich, dass ich stürzte, doch der HERR hat mir geholfen. (Ps 129:1) 14 Meine Stärke und mein Lied ist der HERR; er ist für mich zur Rettung geworden.^[1] (Ex 15:2; Isa 12:2) 15 Schall von Jubel und Rettung / in den Zelten der Gerechten: Die Rechte des HERRN, Taten der Macht vollbringt sie, / 16 die Rechte des HERRN, sie erhöht, die Rechte des HERRN, Taten der Macht vollbringt sie. 17 Ich werde nicht sterben, sondern leben, um die Taten des HERRN zu verkünden. (Ps 6:6) 18 Der HERR hat mich gezüchtigt, ja, gezüchtigt, doch mich dem Tod nicht übergeben. (2Co 6:9) 19 Öffnet mir die Tore der Gerechtigkeit, ich will durch sie hineingehn, um dem HERRN zu danken! (Isa 26:2) 20 Dies ist das Tor zum HERRN, Gerechte dürfen hineingehn. 21 Ich will dir danken, dass du mir Antwort gabst, du bist mir zur Rettung geworden. 22 Ein Stein, den die Bauleute verwarfen, er ist zum Eckstein geworden. (Ne 6:16; Isa 28:16; Mt 21:42; Ac 4:11; 1Pe 2:7)

Ne 6:16Isa 28:16Mt 21:42Ac 4:111Pe 2:7

23 Vom HERRN her ist dies gewirkt, ein Wunder in unseren Augen. 24 Dies ist der Tag, den der HERR gemacht hat; wir wollen jubeln und uns über ihn freuen. 25 Ach, HERR, bring doch Rettung! Ach, HERR, gib doch Gelingen! 26 Gesegnet sei, der da kommt im Namen des HERRN! Wir segnen euch vom Haus des HERRN her. (Mt 21:9; Mt 23:39) 27 Gott ist der HERR. Er ließ Licht für uns leuchten. Tanzt den Festreigen mit Zweigen bis zu den Hörnern des Altars! 28 Mein Gott bist du, dir will ich danken. Mein Gott bist du, dich will ich erheben. 29 Dankt dem HERRN, denn er ist gut, denn seine Huld währt ewig! (Ps 107:1)
