That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise(A) to the Lord in this manner:

Give praise(B) to the Lord, proclaim his name;
    make known among the nations(C) what he has done.
Sing to him, sing praise(D) to him;
    tell of all his wonderful acts.
10 Glory in his holy name;(E)
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
    proclaim his salvation day after day.
24 Declare his glory(A) among the nations,
    his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

25 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;(B)
    he is to be feared(C) above all gods.(D)
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.(E)
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
    strength and joy are in his dwelling place.

28 Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.(F)
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;(G)
    bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his[a] holiness.(H)
30     Tremble(I) before him, all the earth!
    The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.(J)

31 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;(K)
    let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!(L)
32 Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;(M)
    let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
33 Let the trees(N) of the forest sing,
    let them sing for joy before the Lord,
    for he comes to judge(O) the earth.

34 Give thanks(P) to the Lord, for he is good;(Q)
    his love endures forever.(R)
35 Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior;(S)
    gather us and deliver us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name,
    and glory in your praise.”
36 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(T)
    from everlasting to everlasting.

Then all the people said “Amen” and “Praise the Lord.”
