David’s Song of Thanks

8 ^bOh give thanks to the Lord; ^ccall upon his name;
^dmake known his deeds among the peoples!
9 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
10 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
11 ^eSeek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually!
12 ^fRemember the wondrous works that he has done,
^ghis miracles and the judgments he uttered,
13 O offspring of Israel his servant,
children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God;
^hhis judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
16 the covenant ⁱthat he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,
17 which ^jhe confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18 saying, ^k“To you I will give the land of Canaan,
as your portion for an inheritance.”
19 When you were ^lfew in number,
of little account, and ^msojourners in it,
20 wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
21 he allowed no one to oppress them;
he ⁿrebuked kings on their account,
22 saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,
do my ^oprophets no harm!”
23 ^pSing to the Lord, all the earth!
Tell of his salvation from day to day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
25 For ^qgreat is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and he is to be feared ^rabove all gods.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
^sbut the Lord made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
^tascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him!
^uWorship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; ^{▼▼Or in holy attire}
30 tremble before him, all the earth;
yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
31 ^wLet the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,
and let them say among the nations, ^x“The Lord reigns!”
32 ^yLet the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it!
33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.
34 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!
35 ^zSay also:

“Save us, O God of our salvation,
and gather and deliver us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
36 ^aaBlessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!”
^abThen all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.
