Psalm of Thanksgiving

8 ^aOh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name;
^bMake known His deeds among the peoples.
9 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
^{▼▼ Or Meditate on}Speak of all His ^{▼▼ I.e. wonderful acts}wonders.
10 ^{▼▼ Or Boast}Glory in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.
11 ^fSeek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face continually.
12 ^gRemember His wonderful deeds which He has done,
^hHis marvels and the judgments from His mouth,
13 O seed of Israel His servant,
Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God;
ⁱHis judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
16 ^j The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
17 ^kHe also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying, ^l“To you I will give the land of Canaan,
As the portion of your inheritance.”
19 ^mWhen they were only a few in number,
Very few, and strangers in it,
20 And they wandered about from nation to nation,
And from one kingdom to another people,
21 He permitted no man to oppress them,
And ⁿHe reproved kings for their sakes, saying,
22 “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And ^odo My prophets no harm.”
