Lexham English Bible
7 Then on that day David first appointed to give thanks to Yahweh by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
David’s Song of Thanks
8 Give thanks to Yahweh; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the nations!
9 Sing to him; sing praises to him;
tell of his wondrous works!
10 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those seeking Yahweh rejoice!
11 Seek Yahweh and his strength;
seek his face continually!
12 Remember his wonderful works that he has done,
his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,
13 O offspring of Israel, his servant,
O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
14 He is Yahweh our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember his covenant forever,
the word he commanded for a thousand generations,
16 that he made[a] with Abraham,
his sworn oath to Isaac.
17 And he confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
an everlasting covenant to Israel,
18 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,
the portion of your inheritance.”
19 When you were few in number, little,
and sojourners were in it,
20 when they wandered from nation to nation,
and from one kingdom to another people,
21 he did not allow anyone to oppress them,
and he rebuked kings on their account,
22 saying, “You must not touch my anointed
nor do harm to my prophets!”
23 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth!
Proclaim his salvation from day to day!
24 Proclaim his glory among the nations,
his wondrous works among the peoples!
25 For Yahweh is great and greatly praised,
and he is feared among all gods.
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but Yahweh made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.
28 Ascribe to Yahweh, O clans of the nations,
ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of his name!
Lift up an offering and come before him!
Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness!
30 Tremble before him, all the earth;
surely the world shall not be shaken.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad,
and let them tell the peoples, “Yahweh reigns!”
32 Let the sea roar and its fullness;
let the field rejoice and all that is in it.
33 Then the trees of the forest shall sing for joy before Yahweh,
for he comes to judge the earth.
34 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good;
his loyal love is everlasting.
35 Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation;
gather us and rescue us from the nations
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
36 Blessed be Yahweh the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!”
Then all the people said, “Amen!” and praised Yahweh.

David’s Psalm of Thanksgiving
7 On that day David decreed for the first time that thanks be given to the Lord by Asaph and his relatives:
8 Give thanks(A) to the Lord; call on his name;
proclaim his deeds among the peoples.(B)
9 Sing to him; sing praise to him;
tell about all his wondrous works!
10 Boast in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11 Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.(C)
12 Remember the wondrous works he has done,(D)
his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,[a](E)
13 you offspring of Israel his servant,
Jacob’s descendants—his chosen ones.
14 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments govern the whole earth.(F)
15 Remember his covenant forever—
the promise he ordained for a thousand generations,
16 the covenant he made with Abraham,
swore[b] to Isaac,(G)
17 and confirmed to Jacob as a decree,
and to Israel as a permanent covenant:(H)
18 “I will give the land of Canaan to you
as your inherited portion.”(I)
19 When they[c] were few in number,
very few indeed,(J) and resident aliens in Canaan
20 wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another,
21 he allowed no one to oppress them;
he rebuked kings on their behalf:(K)
22 “Do not touch my anointed ones
or harm my prophets.”(L)
23 Let the whole earth sing(M) to the Lord.
Proclaim his salvation from day to day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations,
his wondrous works among all peoples.
25 For the Lord is great and highly praised;(N)
he is feared above all gods.(O)
26 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,(P)
but the Lord made the heavens.(Q)
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness;(R)
30 let the whole earth tremble(S) before him.
The world is firmly established;
it cannot be shaken.
31 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice,(T)
and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
32 Let the sea and all that fills it resound;
let the fields and everything in them exult.(U)
33 Then the trees of the forest will shout for joy before the Lord,
for he is coming to judge the earth.
34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his faithful love endures forever.(V)
35 And say,(W) “Save us, God of our salvation;
gather us and rescue us from the nations
so that we may give thanks to your holy name
and rejoice in your praise.
36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel(X)
from everlasting to everlasting.”
Then all the people said, “Amen” and “Praise the Lord.”
