1Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever. 2Let Israel say, “His loving devotion endures forever.” 3Let the house of Aaron say, “His loving devotion endures forever.” 4Let those who fear the LORD say, “His loving devotion endures forever.” 5In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered and set me free. 6The LORD is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 7The LORD is on my side; He is my helper. Therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me. 8It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
