Psalm of Thanksgiving

(A)Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name;
(B)Make known His deeds among the peoples.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
[a]Speak of all His [b]wonders.
10 [c]Glory in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.
11 (C)Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face continually.
12 (D)Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done,
(E)His 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;
(F)His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
16 (G)The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
17 (H)He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying, “(I)To you I will give the land of Canaan,
As the portion of your inheritance.”
19 (J)When 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 (K)He reproved kings for their sakes, saying,
22 “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And (L)do My prophets no harm.”
23 (M)Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
24 Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
25 For (N)great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
He also is (O)to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are [d](P)idols,
(Q)But the Lord made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name;
Bring an [e]offering, and come before Him;
(R)Worship the Lord in [f]holy array.
30 Tremble before Him, all the earth;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.
31 (S)Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
And let them say among the nations, “(T)The Lord reigns.”
32 (U)Let the sea [g]roar, and [h]all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord;
For He is coming to judge the earth.
34 (V)O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
35 (W)Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation,
And gather us and deliver us from the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name,
And [i]glory in Your praise.”
36 (X)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.

Then all the people (Y)said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord.
