David’s Psalm of Thanksgiving

(Psalm 105:1–15)

On that day David first committed to Asaph and his associates [this song] of thanksgiving to the LORD:

8 

“ Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name;

make known His deeds among the nations.

9 

Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;

tell of all His wonders.

10 

Glory in His holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

11 

Seek out the LORD and His strength;

seek His face always.

12 

Remember the wonders He has done,

His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

13 

O offspring of His servant Israel,

O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

14 

He is the LORD our God;

His judgments [carry] throughout the earth.

15 

Remember[fn] His covenant forever,

the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

16 

[the covenant] He made with Abraham,

and the oath He swore to Isaac.

17 

He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

18 

I will give you the land of Canaan

as the portion of your inheritance.’

19 

When they were few in number,

few indeed, and strangers in [the land],

20 

they wandered from nation to nation,

from [one] kingdom to another.

21 

He let no man oppress them;

He rebuked kings on their behalf:

22 

‘Do not touch My anointed ones!

Do no harm to My prophets!’
