David’s Song of Thanks

• 8 make known his deeds among the nations!
• 9  tell of his wondrous works!
• 10  let the hearts of those seeking Yahweh rejoice!
• 11  seek his face continually!
• 12  his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,
• 13  O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
• 14 is Yahweh our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
• 15  the word he commanded for a thousand generations,
• 16 [fn] with Abraham, his sworn oath to Isaac.
• 17  an everlasting covenant to Israel,
• 18  the portion of your inheritance.”
• 19  and sojourners were in it,
• 20  and from one kingdom to another people,
• 21  and he rebuked kings on their account,
• 22 saying, “You must not touch my anointed nor do harm to my prophets!”
• 23  Proclaim his salvation from day to day!
• 24  his wondrous works among the peoples!
• 25 is great and greatly praised, and he is feared among all gods.
• 26 are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.
• 27 are before him; strength and joy are in his place.
• 28  ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
• 29  Lift up an offering and come before him!
• Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness!
• 30  surely the world shall not be shaken.
• 31  and let them tell the peoples, “Yahweh reigns!”
• 32  let the field rejoice and all that is in it.
• 33  for he comes to judge the earth.
• 34 is good; his loyal love is everlasting.
• 35  gather us and rescue us from the nations
• that we may give thanks to your holy name
• and glory in your praise.
• 36  from everlasting to everlasting!”

Then all the people said, “Amen!” and praised Yahweh.
