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;

1Speak of all His 2wonders.

10 1Glory in His holy name;

Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.

11 aSeek the Lord and His strength;

Seek His face continually.

12 aRemember His wonderful deeds which He has done,

bHis 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;

aHis judgments are in all the earth.

15 Remember His covenant forever,

The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

16 aThe covenant which He made with Abraham,

And His oath to Isaac.

17 aHe also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,

To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, “aTo you I will give the land of Canaan,

As the portion of your inheritance.”

19 aWhen 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 aHe reproved kings for their sakes, saying,

22 “Do not touch My anointed ones,

And ado My prophets no harm.”
