⁸ Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name;
    make his deeds known to all people!
⁹ Sing to God, sing praises to him;
    dwell on all his wondrous works!
¹⁰ Give praise to God’s holy name!
    Let the hearts of all those seeking the Lord rejoice!
¹¹ Pursue the Lord and his strength;
    seek his face always!
¹² Remember the wondrous works he has done,
    all his marvelous works,
    and the justice he declared—
¹³         you who are the offspring of Israel, his servant,
        and the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
¹⁴ The Lord—he is our God.
    His justice is everywhere throughout the whole world.
¹⁵ God remembers^[a] his covenant forever,
    the word he commanded to a thousand generations,
¹⁶     which he made with Abraham,
        the solemn pledge he swore to Isaac.
¹⁷     God set it up as binding law for Jacob,
        as an eternal covenant for Israel,
¹⁸         promising, “I hereby give you the land of Canaan
        as your allotted inheritance.”
¹⁹ When they^[b] were few in number—
    insignificant, just immigrants—
²⁰     wandering from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to the next,
²¹         God didn’t let anyone oppress them.
        God punished kings for their sake:
²² “Don’t touch my anointed ones;
    don’t harm my prophets!”
²³ Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
    Share the news of his saving work every single day!
²⁴ Declare God’s glory among the nations;
    declare his wondrous works among all people
²⁵         because the Lord is great and so worthy of praise.
He is awesome beyond all other gods
²⁶     because all the gods of the nations are just idols,
        but it is the Lord who created heaven!
²⁷ Greatness and grandeur are in front of him;
    strength and joy are in his place.
²⁸ Give to the Lord, all families of the nations—
    give to the Lord glory and power!
²⁹     Give to the Lord the glory due his name!
        Bring gifts! Enter his presence!
        Bow down to the Lord
        in his holy splendor!
³⁰ Tremble before him, all the earth!
    Yes, he set the world firmly in place;^[c]
    it won’t be shaken.
³¹ Let heaven celebrate!
    Let the earth rejoice!
    Let the nations say, “The Lord rules!”
³² Let the sea and everything in it roar!
    Let the countryside and everything in it celebrate!
³³ Then the trees of the forest will shout out joyfully
    before the Lord, because he is coming
    to establish justice on earth!
³⁴ Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
    because his faithful love endures forever.
³⁵ Say: “Save us, God, our savior!
    Gather us! Deliver us from among the nations
        so we can give thanks to your holy name
        and rejoice in your praise.”
³⁶ Bless the Lord, Israel’s God,
    from forever in the past to forever always.
And let all the people say, “Amen!”
    Praise the Lord!
