Then on that day David (A)first assigned [a]Asaph and his [b]relatives to give thanks to Yahweh.

Song of Thanksgiving

(B)Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name;
(C)Make known His acts among the peoples.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Muse on all His wondrous deeds.
10 Boast in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh be glad.
11 (D)Inquire of Yahweh and His strength;
Seek His face continually.
12 (E)Remember His wondrous deeds which He has done,
(F)His miraculous signs and the judgments uttered by His mouth,
13 O seed of Israel His servant,
O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14 He is Yahweh our God;
(G)His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded for a thousand generations,
16 (H)Which He cut with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
17 (I)Then He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying, “(J)To you I will give the land of Canaan,
As the portion of your inheritance,”
19 (K)When you were only a few men in number,
Of little account, and sojourners 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 (L)He reproved kings for their sakes,
22 “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And (M)against My prophets do no evil.”
23 (N)Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;
Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.
24 Recount His glory among the nations,
His wondrous deeds among all the peoples.
25 For (O)great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised;
And He is [c](P)more [d]fearsome than all gods.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are [e](Q)idols,
(R)But Yahweh made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place.
28 Ascribe to Yahweh, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;
Lift up [f]an offering, and come before Him;
(S)Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.
30 Tremble before Him, all the earth;
Indeed, the world is established, it will not be shaken.
31 (T)Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
And let them say among the nations, “(U)Yahweh reigns.”
32 (V)Let the sea [g]roar, as well as its fullness;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh;
For He is coming to judge the earth.
34 (W)Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
35 (X)Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation,
And gather us and deliver us from among the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name
And revel in Your praise.”
36 (Y)Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting.

Then all the people (Z)said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.

Psalm of Thanksgiving

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

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