David’s Song of Thanks

• 8 Give thanks to Yahweh; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the nations!
• 9 Sing to him; sing praises to him; tell of his wondrous works!
• 10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those seeking Yahweh rejoice!
• 11 Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his face continually!
• 12 Remember his wonderful works that he has done, his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,
• 13 O offspring of Israel, his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
• 14 He is Yahweh our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
• 15 Remember his covenant forever, the word he commanded for a thousand generations,
• 16 that he made[fn] with Abraham, his sworn oath to Isaac.
• 17 And he confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, an everlasting covenant to Israel,
• 18 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the portion of your inheritance.”
• 19 When you were few in number, little, and sojourners were in it,
• 20 when they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
• 21 he did not allow anyone to oppress them, and he rebuked kings on their account,
• 22 saying, “You must not touch my anointed nor do harm to my prophets!”
• 23 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!
• 24 Proclaim his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among the peoples!
• 25 For Yahweh is great and greatly praised, and he is feared among all gods.
• 26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.
• 27 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place.
• 28 Ascribe to Yahweh, O clans of the nations, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
• 29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of his name! Lift up an offering and come before him!
• Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness!
• 30 Tremble before him, all the earth; surely the world shall not be shaken.
• 31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, and let them tell the peoples, “Yahweh reigns!”
• 32 Let the sea roar and its fullness; let the field rejoice and all that is in it.
• 33 Then the trees of the forest shall sing for joy before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth.
• 34 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good; his loyal love is everlasting.
• 35 Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation; gather us and rescue us from the nations
• that we may give thanks to your holy name
• and glory in your praise.
• 36 Blessed be Yahweh the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting!”

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