A Prayer of Thanks for Victory
1 Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good,
and his love is eternal.
2 Let the people of Israel say,
“His love is eternal.”
3 Let the priests of God say,
“His love is eternal.”
4 Let all who worship him say,
“His love is eternal.”
5 In my distress I called to the Lord;
he answered me and set me free.
6 The Lord is with me, I will not be afraid;
what can anyone do to me?
7 It is the Lord who helps me,
and I will see my enemies defeated.
8 It is better to trust in the Lord
than to depend on people.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord
than to depend on human leaders.
10 Many enemies were around me;
but I destroyed them by the power of the Lord!
11 They were around me on every side;
but I destroyed them by the power of the Lord!
12 They swarmed around me like bees,
but they burned out as quickly as a brush fire;
by the power of the Lord I destroyed them.
13 I was fiercely attacked and was being defeated,
but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord makes me powerful and strong;
he has saved me.
15 Listen to the glad shouts of victory in the tents of God's people:
“The Lord's mighty power has done it!
16 His power has brought us victory—
his mighty power in battle!”
17 I will not die; instead, I will live
and proclaim what the Lord has done.
18 He has punished me severely,
but he has not let me die.
19 Open to me the gates of the Temple;
I will go in and give thanks to the Lord!
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
only the righteous can come in.
21 I praise you, Lord, because you heard me,
because you have given me victory.
22 The stone which the builders rejected as worthless
turned out to be the most important of all.
23 This was done by the Lord;
what a wonderful sight it is!
24 This is the day of the Lord's victory;
let us be happy, let us celebrate!
25 Save us, Lord, save us!
Give us success, O Lord!
26 May God bless 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.
With branches in your hands, start the festival
and march around the altar.
28 You are my God, and I give you thanks;
I will proclaim your greatness.
29 Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good,
and his love is eternal.
Slava Kungam uzvaras priekā
1 Pateicieties Kungam, jo viņš ir labs,
jo uz mūžiem viņa žēlastība!
2 Lai saka Israēls:
uz mūžiem viņa žēlastība!
3 Lai saka Ārona nams:
uz mūžiem viņa žēlastība!
4 Lai saka tie, kas bīstas Kunga:
uz mūžiem viņa žēlastība!
5 No slazda es saucu Kungu,
no plašumiem man atsaucās Kungs!
6 Kungs ar mani, es nebaidos –
ko var padarīt man cilvēks?
7 Kungs ar mani, viņš palīdz man,
lepni nolūkošos uz tiem, kas nīst mani!
8 Labāk patverties pie Kunga
nekā paļauties uz cilvēkiem.
9 Labāk patverties pie Kunga
nekā paļauties uz augstmaņiem.
10 Visas tautas sanāca ap mani –
Kunga vārdā es tās atvairīju.
11 Tās nāca ap mani, tās lenca mani,
Kunga vārdā es tās atvairīju.
12 Tās salaidās ap mani kā bites,
tās izdega ātri kā uguns ērkšķos,
Kunga vārdā es tās atvairīju.
13 Grūstin tu mani grūdi – es kritu –
Kungs mani noturēja.
14 Mans spēks un vara ir Kungs,
viņš man tapis par pestīšanu.
15 Uzvaras gaviļu balsis taisno teltīs:
Kunga labā roka ir jaudājusi!
16 Kunga labā roka ir pacelta augstu!
Kunga labā roka ir jaudājusi!
17 Es nenomiru, es paliku dzīvs,
lai izstāstītu Kunga darbus.
18 Rātin rāja mani Kungs,
bet nāvei neatdeva mani.
19 Atveriet man taisnības vārtus,
ka ienāku tajos pateikties Kungam, –
20 tie ir Kunga vārti, taisnie ienāks tajos.
21 Pateicos tev, ka tu man atbildēji,
ka tu tapi man par pestīšanu!
22 Akmens, ko namdari atmetuši,
ir tapis par stūrakmeni.
23 Kungs licis tam notikt,
mūsu acīm tas liekas brīnums.
24 Šī ir diena, ko Kungs devis,
gavilējiet un līksmojiet šodien!
25 Ak, Kungs, glāb jel mūs,
ak, Kungs, liec, lai mums izdodas!
26 Svētīts, kas nāk Kunga vārdā!
Mēs jūs svētījam no Kunga tempļa!
27 Kungs ir Dievs, viņš mums iededza gaismu!
Rotājiet gājienu pazarēm līdz pat altāra ragiem!
28 Tu esi mans Dievs, un es pateikšos tev –
mans Dievs, es tevi cildināšu!
29 Pateicieties Kungam, jo viņš ir labs,
jo uz mūžiem viņa žēlastība!
