 1.  O give thanks unto our God; blessed be His name
     His mercy shall always endure; and His kindness never fails.
     Let Israel confess to God, "His mercy always shall endure;
     Let Aaron's house-hold now repeat, that His mercy never fails!

 2.  I called upon the Lord my God; in distress I cried!
     He answered me and set me free; put your confidence in God.
     With the Eternal on my side, why should I fear what men can do?
     Trust not in princes nor in man; better far to trust in God!

 3.  All nations compassed me about, compassed me like bees;
     But the Eternal is my strength; in His name I cut them off.
     Open the gates of righteousness, where all the righteous enter in;
     I shall not die but I shall live, and shall tell of all His works!

 4.  O give thanks unto our God; He has answered me!
     He my salvation has become, He the chief, the corner-stone.
     He by the builders was refused; He was rejected by His own.
     God is the Lord who shows us light; Bless-ed be the name of God!
