David Thanks God

That day David first gave to Asaph and his colleagues this song of thanks to the Lord.

Give thanks to the Lord!
Call on his name!
Make known his accomplishments among the nations.
Sing to him! Make music to him!
Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
10 Boast about his holy name.
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11 Seek the Lord and the strength he gives.
Seek his presence[a] continually!
12 Recall the miraculous deeds he performed,
his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed,[b]
13 O children[c] of Israel, God’s[d] servant,
you descendants of Jacob, God’s[e] chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God;
he carries out judgment throughout the earth.[f]
15 Remember[g] continually his covenantal decree,
the promise he made[h] to a thousand generations—
16 the promise[i] he made to Abraham,
the promise he made by oath to Isaac![j]
17 He gave it to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as a lasting promise,[k]
18 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
as the portion of your inheritance.”
19 When they were few in number,
just a very few, and foreign residents within it,
20 they wandered from nation to nation,
and from one kingdom to another.[l]
21 He let no one oppress them;
he disciplined kings for their sake,
22 saying,[m] “Don’t touch my anointed ones!
Don’t harm my prophets!”
23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Announce every day[n] how he delivers.
24 Tell the nations about his splendor,
tell[o] all the nations about his miraculous deeds.
25 For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise,
he is more awesome than[p] all gods.
26 For all the gods of the nations are worthless,[q]
but the Lord made the heavens.[r]
27 Majestic splendor emanates from him,[s]
he is the source of strength and joy.[t]
28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations,
ascribe to the Lord splendor and strength!
29 Ascribe to the Lord the splendor he deserves![u]
Bring an offering and enter his presence!
Worship the Lord in holy attire![v]
30 Tremble before him, all the earth!
The world is established, it cannot be moved.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be happy!
Let the nations say,[w] “The Lord reigns!”
32 Let the sea and everything in it shout!
Let the fields and everything in them celebrate!
33 Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth!
34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good
and his loyal love endures.[x]
35 Say this prayer:[y] “Deliver us, O God who delivers us!
Gather us! Rescue us from the nations!
Then we will give thanks[z] to your holy name,
and boast about your praiseworthy deeds.”[aa]
36 May the Lord God of Israel be praised,
in the future and forevermore.[ab]
Then all the people said, “We agree![ac] Praise the Lord.”

David’s Psalm of Thanksgiving(A)

On that very day, David composed this psalm of thanksgiving to the Lord just for[a] Asaph and his companions:[b]

Give thanks to the Lord,
    calling on his name.
        Make what he has done known among the people.
Sing to him,
    sing psalms to him,
        and think[c] about all of his miraculous deeds.
10 Find joy in his holy name;
    let the hearts of those who keep on seeking the Lord rejoice.
11 Seek the Lord and his strength.
    Always look to him.[d]
12 Keep remembering the awesome deeds that he has done,
    along with his miracles
        and the rulings that he has handed down,
13 you descendants of his servant Israel,
    you descendants of Jacob,
        the ones he has chosen.

14 He is the Lord our God.
    His justice is in all of the land.
15 Remember his covenant forever,
    his promise that he made to the thousandth generation,
16 the covenant[e] that he made with Abraham,
    and the oath he swore to Isaac.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob in the form of an ordinance,
    an eternal covenant to Israel,
18 when he told Israel,
    “To you I will give the land of Canaan
        as your joyful inheritance.”[f]

19 When you were few in number—
    very few, and strangers at that—
20 wandering from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another,
21 he did not let anyone wrong them.
    He warned kings on their behalf,
22 “Don’t touch my chosen ones,
    and don’t hurt my prophets!”

23 Let all the earth sing to the Lord!
    Day after day proclaim his deliverance![g]
24 Declare his glory among the nations,
    and his miraculous deeds to all people,
25 because the Lord is great,
    and he is praised greatly!
        He is feared above every god.
26 For all of the gods of the other[h] nations are mere[i] idols,
    but the Lord fashioned the heavens!
27 Splendor and majesty surround him,
    and strength and joy fill his palace.[j]

28 Let the families of earth recognize the Lord
    that he is glorious and powerful.
29 Recognize the glory that is due the Lord!
    Bring your offering,
and come into his presence,
    worshiping the Lord in all of his holy splendor.
30 Tremble in his presence, all the earth!
    Surely the inhabited world[k] stands firm—
        it cannot be moved.

31 Let the heavens rejoice,
    and the earth be glad!
Say to the nations,
    “The Lord reigns!”
32 Let the sea roar
    along with everything that fills it!
Let the fields exult,
    along with everything in them!
33 Then let the trees in the forest sing out in praise,
    for the Lord is coming to judge the world.

34 Give thanks to the Lord,
    because he is good
        and because his gracious love is eternal!
35 Call out,[l] “Save us, God, you who delivers us!
    Gather us and rescue us from the nations!”
We will thank your holy name
    and rejoice as we praise you!
36 Praise the Lord God of Israel,
    who lives from eternity to eternity!

Then all of the people shouted “Amen!” and praised the Lord.
