Confitemini Domino. The psalmist praiseth God for his delivery from evils: putteth his whole trust in him; and foretelleth the coming of Christ. Alleluia.

[1] Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

"[2] Let Israel now say that he is good: that his mercy endureth for ever. [3] Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. [4] Let them that fear the Lord now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. [5] In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me. [6] The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me. [7] The Lord is my helper: and I will look over my enemies. [8] It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man. [9] It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes. [10] All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them. [11] Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them. [12] They surrounded me like bees, and they burned like fire among thorns: and in the name of the Lord I was revenged on them. [13] Being pushed I was overturned that I might fall: but the Lord supported me. [14] The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation. [15] The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the just. [16] The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exulted me: the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength. [17] I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord." [Psalms 117:2-17] URL: http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=21&ch=117&l=2-17#x Link: [<a href="http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=21&ch=117&l=2-17#x">Psalms 117:2-17</a>]

[18] The Lord chastising hath chastised me: but he hath not delivered me over to death. [19] Open ye to me the gates of justice: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord. [20] This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it.

[21] I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation. [22] The stone which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner. [23] This is the Lord's doing: and it is wonderful in our eyes. [24] This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein. [25] O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success.

[26] Blessed be he that cometh in the name Lord. We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. [27] The Lord is God, and he hath shone upon us. Appoint a solemn day, with shady boughs, even to the horn of the altar. [28] Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, and I will exalt thee. I will praise thee, because thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. [29] O praise ye the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
