David’s Song of Thanks
8 pOh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
9 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
10 qGlory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rrejoice!
11 Seek the Lord and his strength;
sseek his presence continually!
12 tRemember the wondrous works that he has done,
his miracles and the judgments he uttered,
13 O offspring of Israel his servant,
children of Jacob, uhis chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
16 vthe covenant that he made with Abraham,
whis sworn promise to Isaac,
17 which he xconfirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18 saying, “To you I will give the yland of Canaan,
as your portion for an inheritance.”
19 When you were few in number,
of little account, and sojourners in it,
20 wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
21 zhe allowed no one to oppress them;
ahe rebuked kings on their account,
22 saying, b“Touch not my anointed ones,
do my prophets no harm!”
4 And you will say in that day:
z“Give thanks to the Lord,
call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples,
proclaim that his name is exalted.
