A Psalm of Thanksgiving

1 Chronicles 16:8-36 (New International Version)

 ⁸ Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name;
       make known among the nations what he has done.
 ⁹ Sing to him, sing praise to him;
       tell of all his wonderful acts.
 ¹⁰ Glory in his holy name;
       let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
 ¹¹ Look to the LORD and his strength;
       seek his face always.
 ¹² Remember the wonders he has done,
       his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
 ¹³ O descendants of Israel his servant,
       O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
 ¹⁴ He is the LORD our God;
       his judgments are in all the earth.
 ¹⁵ He remembers  his covenant forever,
       the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,
 ¹⁶ the covenant he made with Abraham,
       the oath he swore to Isaac.
 ¹⁷ He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,
       to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
 ¹⁸ "To you I will give the land of Canaan
       as the portion you will inherit."
 ¹⁹ When they were but few in number,
       few indeed, and strangers in it,
 ²⁰ they ^[b] wandered from nation to nation,
       from one kingdom to another.
 ²¹ He allowed no man to oppress them;
       for their sake he rebuked kings:
 ²² "Do not touch my anointed ones;
       do my prophets no harm."
 ²³ Sing to the LORD, all the earth;
       proclaim his salvation day after day.
 ²⁴ Declare his glory among the nations,
       his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
 ²⁵ For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
       he is to be feared above all gods.
 ²⁶ For all the gods of the nations are idols,
       but the LORD made the heavens.
 ²⁷ Splendor and majesty are before him;
       strength and joy in his dwelling place.
 ²⁸ Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations,
       ascribe to the LORD glory and strength,
 ²⁹ ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name.
       Bring an offering and come before him;
       worship the LORD in the splendor of his ^[c] holiness.
 ³⁰ Tremble before him, all the earth!
       The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
 ³¹ Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
       let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!"
 ³² Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;
       let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
 ³³ Then the trees of the forest will sing,
       they will sing for joy before the LORD,
       for he comes to judge the earth.
 ³⁴ Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
       his love endures forever.
 ³⁵ Cry out, "Save us, O God our Savior;
       gather us and deliver us from the nations,
       that we may give thanks to your holy name,
       that we may glory in your praise."
 ³⁶ Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel,
       from everlasting to everlasting.
      Then all the people said "Amen" and "Praise the LORD."
