1 Chronicles 16:8–36

^8gOh, give thanks to the Lord!

Call upon His name;

Make known His deeds among the peoples!

⁹Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;

Talk of all His wondrous works!

¹⁰Glory in His holy name;

Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!

¹¹Seek the Lord and His strength;

Seek His face evermore!

¹²Remember His marvelous works which He has done,

His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

¹³O seed of Israel His servant,

You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

¹⁴He is the Lord our God;

His ^hjudgments are in all the earth.

¹⁵Remember His covenant forever,

The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,

¹⁶The ⁱcovenant which He made with Abraham,

And His oath to Isaac,

¹⁷And ^jconfirmed it to ^kJacob for a statute,

To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

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

As the allotment of your inheritance,”

¹⁹When you were ^lfew in number,

Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

²⁰When they went from one nation to another,

And from one kingdom to another people,

²¹He permitted no man to do them wrong;

Yes, He ^mrebuked kings for their sakes,

²²Saying, ⁿ“Do not touch My anointed ones,

And do My prophets no harm.”

^23oSing to the Lord, all the earth;

Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

²⁴Declare His glory among the nations,

His wonders among all peoples.

²⁵For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised;

He is also to be feared above all gods.

²⁶For all the gods ^pof the peoples are ¹idols,

But the Lord made the heavens.

²⁷Honor and majesty are before Him;

Strength and gladness are in His place.

²⁸Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples,

Give to the Lord glory and strength.

²⁹Give to the Lord the glory due His name;

Bring an offering, and come before Him.

Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!

³⁰Tremble before Him, all the earth.

The world also is firmly established,

It shall not be moved.

³¹Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;

And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”

³²Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;

Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.

³³Then the ^qtrees of the woods shall rejoice before the Lord,

For He is ^rcoming to judge the earth.

^34sOh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!

For His mercy endures forever.

^35tAnd say, “Save us, O God of our salvation;

Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles,

To give thanks to Your holy name,

To triumph in Your praise.”

^36uBlessed be the Lord God of Israel

From everlasting to everlasting!

And all ^vthe people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.
