English Standard Version

⁷Then on that day ^(A)David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the Lord by Asaph and his brothers.

David's Song of Thanks

⁸^(B)Oh give thanks to the Lord; ^(C)call upon his name;
    ^(D)make known his deeds among the peoples!
⁹Sing to him, sing praises to him;
    tell of all his wondrous works!
¹⁰Glory in his holy name;
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
¹¹^(E)Seek the Lord and his strength;
    seek his presence continually!
¹²^(F)Remember the wondrous works that he has done,
    ^(G)his miracles and the judgments he uttered,
¹³O offspring of Israel his servant,
    children of Jacob, his chosen ones!

¹⁴He is the Lord our God;
    ^(H)his judgments are in all the earth.
¹⁵Remember his covenant forever,
    the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
¹⁶the covenant ^(I)that he made with Abraham,
    his sworn promise to Isaac,
¹⁷which ^(J)he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
    to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
¹⁸saying, ^(K)“To you I will give the land of Canaan,
    as your portion for an inheritance.”

¹⁹When you were ^(L)few in number,
    of little account, and ^(M)sojourners in it,
²⁰wandering from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another people,
²¹he allowed no one to oppress them;
    he ^(N)rebuked kings on their account,
²²saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,
    do my ^(O)prophets no harm!”
