From the house of the LORD we bless You. 27 The LORD is God, and He has made His light shine upon us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar. 28 You are my God, and I will give You thanks; You are my God, and I will exalt You. 29 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.
