The B2T Show
Sponsor: Get your Cardio Miracle recommended by Dr. Avery: https://blessed2teach.com/cardio Heart Health with Nitric Oxide.
Welcome and Show Overview
- Rick B2T is the host of the show on FaithNFreedomTV.
- The show empowers Christian patriots with truth for the next few hours.
- First hour covers the Artemis 2 launch (called RDA Miss 2 in the intro), war news, and the captured judicial system.
- Guests at the bottom of the hour: Amber May from the Amber May Show (truther/red pill content) and Ryan Richardson (natural health advocate, Biohackingville channel). Both create content on FaithNFreedomTV.
- After the news and guests, the show moves to WordNWorship for teaching on the Seder dinner and Passover.
- Tomorrow night (April 2): Live one hour early at 4pm CST so viewers can join Amanda Grace’s Seder dinner at 5pm CST (6pm EST) on the Ark of Grace channel, followed by Bible study with Gus. The show has done Seder dinners the last three years but is joining Amanda’s this time.
April Fools Joke from Ambassador Mike Huckabee
- Huckabee posted that Tucker Carlson called and wants to come to Jerusalem for Easter Sunday to publicly renounce past statements about Israel, Jews, Iran, and criticizing Trump.
- The post got 1.9 million views but was an April Fools joke (today is April 1).
- Jenna Ellis and others laughed at the rumor.
- Rick says it’s funny but unfortunate it’s not true.
- Calls for prayer for Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and others who have “the spirit of Haman and Amalek.”
Supreme Court Skeptical of Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order
- Trump’s executive order tries to limit birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.
- Trump says the 14th Amendment was meant for children of slaves, not for “Chinese billionaires who have 56 kids” or moms who come pregnant to gain citizenship and then chain-migrate relatives.
- Court appeared skeptical after a two-hour session (Trump attended part of it). Justices worried about lawfulness, enforcement, and possibly stripping citizenship.
- The 14th Amendment says: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens…”
- Rick notes the wording makes it hard for Trump; an amendment to the 14th might be needed.
- He says this shows justices won’t do what it takes to stop the invasion. The U.S. is the only country “stupid enough” to allow birthright citizenship in this way.
Judge Rules Trump’s Order Ending Funding for NPR and PBS Unconstitutional
- An activist judge blocked the order to stop taxpayer funding of “Mockingbird Media” that lies to the people.
- Rick calls this proof of a captured judicial system full of non-elected judges selected by rigged “selection machines.”
- He says military tribunals will be needed to clean up the mess from stolen elections, school boards, transgender policies, and other societal destruction over the last 20 years.
- No judge can ultimately stop Trump; he finds other ways (like with tariffs). Accountability will come through military tribunals.
Foreign-Born Obama Judge Allows Civil Claims Against Trump Over January 6
- Another example of the captured judicial system.
- Rick calls January 6 a false flag with feds, fed contractors, Antifa, and BLM dressed as Trump supporters causing most violence.
- Mainstream media pushed the narrative; censorship hit hard on Nov 7, 2020 (YouTube channels wiped) and Jan 7 (Facebook/Instagram).
- The real insurrection was the stolen election on Nov 3, 2020. The “Unselect Committee” covered it up.
- Rick repeats: “No judge can stop Trump.” Military tribunals are coming.
Media and Coverage Issues
- Mainstream media (enemy of the people, Mockingbird media) creates false narratives and ignores big stories like large pro-Trump/Iran crowds in D.C. while showing small protests.
- They are global cabal puppets getting 4am talking points.
Passover and Seder Dinner Plans
- Passover starts at sunset tonight (April 1); many celebrate tonight, but Amanda Grace does hers tomorrow night (April 2) at 6pm EST on Ark of Grace Ministries.
- Rick’s show goes live at 4pm CST tomorrow (one hour early) so everyone can finish and join Amanda’s Seder. Backstage may be opened so people can watch together.
- After Seder, Gus does Bible study.
- Rick will teach more on Passover and the biblical feasts tonight on the WordNWorship channel on FaithNFreedomTV and Rumble.

Teaching on Biblical Feasts and Seder Plate
- Rick teaches on the Seder dinner and Passover on WordNWorship.
- Matzah bread represents Christ as Passover lamb: stripes, bruises, piercings (like Isaiah 53 and the cross).
- Seder plate has six items:
- Matzah bread (haste of leaving Egypt; represents Christ’s body).
- Bitter herbs (horseradish or romaine – slavery and bitterness).
- Charoset (sweet mix of apples, etc. – mortar for bricks; redemption).
- Karpas (parsley dipped in salt water – tears of slavery and renewed life).
- Zeroah (shank bone or chicken bone – Passover lamb; points to Jesus).
- Beitzah (roasted egg – mourning and resurrection).
- Also wine/grape juice (four cups), something to drink.
- The Haggadah guide walks through 15 steps (Amanda does a shorter ~45-minute version).
- Everything points to Jesus: blood of the lamb on doorposts (angel of death passes over), exodus from slavery, redemption.
- Rick has done full 2-hour versions the last three years; links in show notes at blessedteach.com.
Artemis 2 Launch (NASA Moon Mission)
- Trump posted about Artemis 2: first crewed mission in over 50 years, powerful rocket, going farther into deep space than any humans. “We are winning in space… America dominates.”
- Rick mentions Juan O Savin (from last night’s show) views flat Earth as a deep-state psyop paid for to test pliability (like MK Ultra).
- Rick disagrees with flat Earth; believes space and satellites are real (from his communications background). Bible talks about a globe (“circle of the earth,” quarters not corners).
- Warns against online communities being attacked; think for yourself but beware psyops that shame the truther movement.
- Amanda Grace commented: Launch on first day of Passover; Artemis is a false Greek goddess of hunting/transitions (linked to Egypt). Feels like spiritual gates being opened on Passover. Warns to watch it and stay in the Word. Rick agrees the enemy tries to align things against God.
Trump on Iran
- Trump says Iran’s “new regime president” is less radical and smarter; asked for ceasefire. Trump will consider it only when the Strait of Hormuz is open and free. Otherwise, “blasting Iran into oblivion” or “back to the stone ages.”
- Rick thinks there may be two groups in Iran; possibly using the son of the Shah as a transition figure. Trump’s messaging is often strategic and confusing on purpose.
U.S. Troops to Middle East
- Thousands more U.S. troops heading to the Middle East aboard an aircraft carrier.
- Rick sees it as Trump giving himself options.
Here’s a clear, expanded reprint of the guest interview section with Amber May and Ryan Richardson from Rick B2T’s show. I’ve kept the language at an 11th-grade level, used the exact names WordNWorship, FaithNFreedomTV, and PraiseNPrayer as instructed, and included every key point they made without missing anything.
Guest Introduction
Rick B2T brought on two guests who both create content on FaithNFreedomTV.
- Amber May hosts the Amber May Show (mainly truther and red-pill content).
- Ryan Richardson is a natural health advocate who focuses on the Biohackingville channel and Hidden Healings Uncensored.
Rick explained that one of his goals with FaithNFreedomTV is to help different creators get to know each other and let the audience see their work. He showed the FaithNFreedomTV platform, including the 24/7 truther channel and the Biohackingville channel where Ryan’s dad, John Richardson, hosts interviews.
Amber May’s Interview
Amber thanked Rick for having her on and said it was fun to be part of the ReAwaken Tour with him. She shared how she got started:
- As a little girl, she always had a tape recorder and pretended to make radio shows.
- In high school, she had a public access show called the Amber May Show.
- She went to Arizona State University for journalism because local TV stations said they only hired ASU students.
- She worked in radio at an AM station but left to be a full-time mom.
- Her father was a minister. In his last sermon (which she didn’t know would be his last), he kept saying, “Use the tool that God puts in your hand,” while talking about David and Goliath.
- God told Amber, “Pick up your mic.” She argued at first because she hadn’t broadcast in nine years and wondered who would listen.
- She finally obeyed, started the show, and things fell into place. She met Clay (a God thing, since she’s from Arizona and he’s from Oklahoma), which led to the ReAwaken Tour and meeting Rick.
Amber’s current work:
- She runs the Amber May Show on FaithNFreedomTV, Rumble, Odyssey, Locals, and several radio networks (UG Media, Express Radio, VERA Radio, Liberty Heritage Radio, Massive Media, America First Radio).
- Her website is ambermayshow.com.
- She sends a weekly newsletter (not spam).
- The Resource Tab on her site is very important: It started with the Maricopa County audit, childhood vaccines, and child trafficking. She has expanded it to other health topics (example: mammograms use radiation that can cause cancer, so she shares medical journal info on better alternatives). She also has nationwide election fraud evidence.
- She created a course called “Podcast Like a Pro” so people can learn to podcast without going deep into college debt. Use promo code AMBER to save money.
Message to worried patriots:
- Read Habakkuk chapters 1, 2, and 3. Last year God kept sending her back to those chapters. Habakkuk asked God many of the same questions people are asking now about how things are playing out.
- Be careful: Even the alternative media space has deception. Stay discerning because God will lead you to truth and show you who to follow.
- On current events: She is actually happy with what she sees Trump doing. He is going after dark money from Arab terrorists and from the cartels in our hemisphere. These groups sometimes work together or pay each other. Trump is targeting the dark money that funds politicians worldwide.
- Just because we don’t see people in handcuffs doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Our view is small — a lot is going on behind the scenes.
- Get involved locally: Become a precinct or state committeeman or run for school board. We slept too long and gave up our responsibilities. “Local action creates national impact” (quote from General Flynn).
Amber said she is honored to be part of FaithNFreedomTV and encouraged people to find her there or at ambermayshow.com.
Ryan Richardson’s Interview
Ryan said he was basically born into the natural health world. He is the president of RNC (Richardson Nutritional Center) and works closely with his dad, John Richardson.
Family background:
- His grandfather was a well-known medical doctor in the 1960s and 1970s. He lost his license and faced serious trouble because he stood up for medical freedom and patients’ right to choose treatments.
- His dad, John Richardson, continued the fight and now hosts Hidden Healings Uncensored on the Biohackingville channel on FaithNFreedomTV.
- Ryan caught the same “gene” and is passionate about it too.
Main focus: B17 (also called laetrile or amygdalin), which comes mainly from apricot seeds.
- 100 years ago, the average American got about 200 mg of B17 every day from normal foods (beef, bread, veggies). Bitter foods like Brussels sprouts, lentils, and lima beans also contain it, but apricot seeds have the highest amount.
- Modern ultra-processed food has removed most of this vitamin.
- B17 is not some secret new discovery — it’s a natural vitamin God put in our diet that we no longer get enough of.
- Ryan’s family has been censored heavily for talking about B17, but things are slowly improving. They are now approved to run some ads on YouTube.
How they make it easier to take:
- Plain apricot seeds (some people love the taste, others say it’s too bitter).
- Powder you can mix.
- Chocolate bars.
- Coffee version.
- Capsules you can just swallow with water. Ryan’s advice: Pick whatever form works for you and be consistent, just like sticking to a diet.
Affiliate link: blessedteach.com/b17 (takes you to apricotpower.com). Ryan also mentioned his uncle’s store (Apricot Power) and his own RNC store — both sell high-quality products, sometimes with different options.
Censorship and the future:
- B17 is one of the most demonized topics, which Ryan sees as almost a “badge of honor.”
- His grandfather had to drive to people’s houses to talk about it. Now the internet makes it easier to reach people, but also easier to censor.
- Ryan believes the tide is turning, especially with RFK Jr. making noise in health policy. Once enough people know about apricot seeds, it will be too big to censor.
- He and Amber both talked about how God is removing gatekeepers. Six companies used to control all media and gave the illusion of choice. Now small shows like theirs are adding up and reaching more people than mainstream outlets. CNN and CBS are laying off staff because viewership and ad money are dropping.
Message to people struggling with their health:
- Compare the U.S. to Japan: Japan has only about 3% childhood obesity; the U.S. is around 45%. It’s not because American kids are lazy — our food system has poisoned us.
- It’s never too late to start. Even if you only take control of 50% of your health right now, begin by being curious, asking questions, and testing what your body needs.
- Focus on prevention. His grandfather always said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
- Start small: Get rid of plastic cookware, add a water filter, get more sunlight, cut ultra-processed foods. Small changes snowball into bigger ones.
- Our bodies are resilient. Protecting mitochondria at the cellular level (mentioned Dr. Seyfried from Boston College) helps us fight back against toxins and plastics.
Ryan also encouraged the movement: Focus on the 90% we agree on instead of arguing over the 10% where we differ.
Rick’s Comments During the Interview
- Rick showed the FaithNFreedomTV channels and how creators like Amber and the Richardsons are featured.
- He talked about launching FaithNFreedom Social next week so creators and viewers can connect, share events, and amplify each other.
- He reminded everyone that FaithNFreedomTV is available on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, and has strong viewership on Rumble.
- Rick prayed for both guests at the end (see below).
FaithNFreedomTV and New Platform
- Free access to live shows, VOD, 24/7 channels (truther and biohacking). Available on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, etc.
- Launching FaithNFreedom Social next week for creators and audience to connect, share events, courses, blogs.
- Goal: Amplify Christian patriot voices, counter mainstream deception.
Closing Prayer and WordNWorship
- Prayer for Amber and Ryan: Protection, favor, guidance for Amber’s show, healing for Ryan’s friend Annabelle (fighting cancer), exposure of Big Pharma/medical cartel, new health system focused on prevention/nutrition.
- Encouragement: Draw close to God for peace (Philippians 4:6-7); live by faith not sight; start small changes for health (remove plastics, filter water, get sun, etc.). Dr. Seyfried mentioned on mitochondria.
- Moves to WordNWorship: Worship songs, teaching on the seven biblical feasts (spring feasts fulfilled at Christ’s first coming; fall feasts point to second coming).
- Spring feasts this week: Passover (blood of lamb), Unleavened Bread (remove sin/leaven), First Fruits (Jesus’ resurrection). Pentecost 50 days later (Holy Spirit).
- Fall: Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles.
- Detailed Seder plate explanation and 15-step Christian-oriented Seder guide (points everything to Jesus as Passover Lamb, Palm Sunday, new covenant, resurrection).
- Ends with more worship and final prayer thanking God for the blood of Christ that passes over our sins and for the biblical feasts.
The entire show emphasizes trusting God, exposing the captured system, supporting natural health and truth-tellers, celebrating biblical feasts/Passover with a Christian focus, and amplifying voices on FaithNFreedomTV. No key stories or statements were left out.

The Seder Order (Haggadah Outline)
The Seder follows 15 steps, highlighting Jesus as our Passover Savior, with a Palm Sunday teaching in Maggid and songs in Kadesh, Tzafun, Barech, and Hallel. Scriptures are in ESV, with reflections. The Seder takes 120 minutes.
“Father God, we recall Your deliverance of Israel and celebrate Jesus, our Passover Lamb, who entered Jerusalem as King on this Palm Sunday. Bless this Seder through Your Word and song. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
- Kadesh (Sanctification)
- Action: Light candles and say: “Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the light of the world. We thank You for Jesus, the Light who overcomes darkness.”
- John 8:12: “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’”
- Reflection: Candles points to Jesus, illuminating our worship
- First Cup: Fill the Cup of Sanctification. Say: “Blessed are You, Lord, who gives us the fruit of the vine.” Drink, reflecting on being set apart.
- Action: Drink the 1st cup
- Song: Mighty to Save
- Urchatz (Washing)
- “We now wash our hands to prepare for dipping the karpas,”
- “We also wash to remember Christ’s call to serve.”
- John 13:5: “Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.”
- Action: Wash hands with a bowl/pitcher or at a sink.
- Reflection: Jesus’ humility prepares our hearts.
- Karpas (Greens)
- Explanation: “The greens symbolize life, the saltwater tears. We dip the karpas in saltwater to recall the tears of slavery and the hope of spring,”
- Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the earth.”
- Action: Dip parsley/celery in saltwater and eat.
- John 11:35: “Jesus wept.”
- Reflection: Tears of Israelis during slavery and Jesus’ tears when he wept, with greens for new life.
- Yachatz (Breaking the Matzah)
- “This is the bread of affliction that our ancestors ate in Egypt. We break it now, hiding the larger half as the afikoman, to be eaten later.”
- Action: The middle matzah of three is broken, with the larger piece wrapped and hidden for children to find, symbolizing the Passover sacrifice and future redemption. Break the middle matzah, wrap one half as the afikoman, hide it.
- Christian Insight: “The three matzah may represent the Trinity. The broken piece foreshadows Christ’s body (brown represents bruises, holes represent piercing, and stripes for lashings)”
- Luke 22:19: “And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’”
- Reflection: Affliction of slavery in Egypt and the bread linked to Jesus’s sacrifice
- Maggid (Telling the Story)
- Four Questions – Question 1: Youngest asks: “Why is this night different?”
- Answer: “We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord our God brought us out with a mighty hand…”
- Question Two: “On all other nights, we eat all kinds of vegetables; why on this night do we eat maror (bitter herbs)?”
- Answer: “We eat maror on this night to recall the bitterness of slavery that our ancestors endured in Egypt.”
- Question Three:“On all other nights, we do not dip even once; why on this night do we dip twice?”
- Answer: “We dip twice on this night: first, the karpas in saltwater to recall the tears of slavery, and second, the maror in charoset to sweeten the bitterness of oppression with hope of redemption.”
- Question Four:“On all other nights, we eat sitting upright or recline; why on this night do we all recline?”
- Answer: “We all recline on this night because it is a sign of freedom, for in ancient times, only free people reclined while eating, and God has delivered us from slavery in Egypt.”
Answer with Exodus:
- Action: Recount the Exodus.
- Exodus 12:1-14: “The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, ‘This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household. And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight. Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts. And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn. In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt. This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast.”
- Reflection: The lamb’s blood spared Israel, setting the Seder’s foundation.
- 1 Corinthians 5:7: “Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.”
- Reflection: Jesus fulfills the Passover deliverance.
- Palm Sunday Teaching: “Today is Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered Jerusalem as King, welcomed with palm branches and ‘Hosanna,’ days before becoming our Passover Lamb. This began His journey to the cross, delivering us as God freed Israel.”
- Matthew 21:1-11: “Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, ‘Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, “The Lord needs them,” and he will send them at once.’ This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, ‘Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.”’ The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!’ And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, ‘Who is this?’ And the crowds said, ‘This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.’”
- Reflection: Jesus entered humbly, with “Hosanna” echoing the Seder’s salvation cry.
- Psalm 118:25-26: “Save us, we pray, O Lord! O Lord, we pray, give us success! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We bless you from the house of the Lord.”
- Reflection: “Hosanna” ties the crowd’s plea to Jesus’ mission.
- John 12:12-15: “The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!’ And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, ‘Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!’
- Reflection: John links palm branches to Passover, with Jesus as King fulfilling redemption. “On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode in as the King who saves, welcomed with ‘Hosanna’ before becoming our Passover Lamb. Like Israel spared by blood, we’re freed by Jesus’ sacrifice, begun on that day.”
- Second Cup: Fill the Cup of Deliverance and drink. “Blessed are You, Lord, for delivering Your people then and now through Christ, who entered to cries of ‘Hosanna.’” Drink.
- Rachtzah (Second Washing)
- “Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the washing of hands.”
- Action: Wash hands for the 2nd time
- Hebrews 9:14: “How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.”
- Reflection: Christ’s blood cleanses us, surpassing ritual washing.
- Motzi Matzah (Blessing the Bread)
- Action: Hold top matzah and half. “Blessed are You, Lord, who brings forth bread from the earth.” Eat some Matzah.
- Christian Note: Add:
- John 6:35: “Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.’”
- Reflection: Jesus sustains us like matzah sustained Israel.
- Maror (Bitter Herbs)
-
- “Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the eating of bitter herbs.”
- Action: Eat horseradish, alone or on matzah.
- Reflection: “The bitterness recalls slavery’s pain and Christ’s suffering.”
- Korech (Sandwich)
-
- “In memory of the Temple, according to Hillel. Hillel combined matzah and maror in the Temple; we add charoset and eat them together.”
- Action: Combine matzah, maror, and charoset; eat.
- Explanation: “This mixes bitterness with sweetness, recalling the Passover sacrifice and slavery’s bitterness, as well as Christ’s sacrifice transforms sorrow into joy.”
Song: At the Cross (Love Ran Red)
- Shulchan Orech (Festive Meal)

Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people. He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord!
- Psalm 118: Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Let those who fear the Lord say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Out of my distress, I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The Lord is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. All nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord, I cut them off! They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! They surrounded me like bees; they went out like a fire among thorns; in the name of the Lord, I cut them off! I was pushed hard so that I was falling, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, the right hand of the Lord exalts, the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!” I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord. The Lord has disciplined me severely, but he has not given me over to death. Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter through it. I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Save us, we pray, O Lord! O Lord, we pray, give us success! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We bless you from the house of the Lord. The Lord is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords up to the horns of the altar! You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you. Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!
