1. O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!
2. Let Israel now say that His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever.
3. Let the house of Aaron [the priesthood] now say that His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever.
4. Let those now who reverently and worshipfully fear the Lord say that His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever.
5. Out of my distress I called upon the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free and in a large place.
