1 Chronicles 16:7-36

⁷On that day David first committed to Asaph and his brothers this song of thanksgiving to the LORD:

⁸“Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name;

make known His deeds among the nations.

⁹Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;

tell of all His wonders.

¹⁰Glory in His holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

¹¹Seek out the LORD and His strength;

seek His face always.

¹²Remember the wonders He has done,

His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

¹³O offspring of His servant Israel,

O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

¹⁴He is the LORD our God;

His judgments carry throughout the earth.

¹⁵Remember His covenant forever,

the word He ordained for a thousand generations —

¹⁶the covenant He made with Abraham,

and the oath He swore to Isaac.

¹⁷He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

¹⁸‘I will give you the land of Canaan

as the portion of your inheritance.’

¹⁹When they were few in number,

few indeed, and strangers in the land,

²⁰they wandered from nation to nation,

from one kingdom to another.

²¹He let no man oppress them;

He rebuked kings on their behalf:

²²‘Do not touch My anointed ones!

Do no harm to My prophets!’

²³Sing to the LORD, all the earth.

Proclaim His salvation day after day.

²⁴Declare His glory among the nations,

His wonderful deeds among all peoples.

²⁵For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;

He is to be feared above all gods.

²⁶For all the gods of the nations are idols,

but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

²⁷Splendor and majesty are before Him;

strength and joy fill His dwelling.

²⁸Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations,

ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

²⁹Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name;

bring an offering and come before Him.

Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness;

³⁰tremble before Him, all the earth.

The world is firmly established;

it cannot be moved.

³¹Let the heavens be glad,

and the earth rejoice.

Let them say among the nations,

‘The LORD reigns!’

³²Let the sea resound,

and all that fills it;

let the fields exult,

and all that is in them.

³³Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD,

for He is coming to judge the earth.

³⁴Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;

His loving devotion endures forever.

³⁵Then cry out: ‘Save us, O God of our salvation;

gather and deliver us from the nations,

that we may give thanks to Your holy name,

that we may glory in Your praise.’

³⁶Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting.” Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the LORD!”
