1 Chronicles 16:8-36 - David's Song Of Thanks

⁸ Give thanks to the LORD, calling on his name. Make what he has done known among the people. ⁹ Sing to him, sing psalms to him, and think about all of his miraculous deeds. ¹⁰ Find joy in his holy name; let the hearts of those who keep on seeking the LORD rejoice. ¹¹ Seek the LORD and his strength. Always look to him. ¹² Keep remembering the awesome deeds that he has done, along with his miracles and the rulings that he has handed down, ¹³ you descendants of his servant Israel, you descendants of Jacob, the ones he has chosen. ¹⁴ He is the LORD our God. His justice is in all of the land. ¹⁵ Remember his covenant forever, his promise that he made to the thousandth generation, ¹⁶ the covenant that he made with Abraham, and the oath he swore to Isaac. ¹⁷ He confirmed it to Jacob in the form of an ordinance, an eternal covenant to Israel, ¹⁸ when he told Israel, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as your joyful inheritance." ¹⁹ When you were few in number very few, and strangers at that ²⁰ wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another, ²¹ he did not let anyone wrong them. He warned kings on their behalf, ²² "Don't touch my chosen ones, and don't hurt my prophets!" ²³ Let all the earth sing to the LORD! Day after day proclaim his deliverance! ²⁴ Declare his glory among the nations, and his miraculous deeds to all people, ²⁵ because the LORD is great, and he is praised greatly! He is feared above every god. ²⁶ For all of the gods of the other nations are mere idols, but the LORD fashioned the heavens! ²⁷ Splendor and majesty surround him, and strength and joy fill his palace. ²⁸ Let the families of earth recognize the LORD that he is glorious and powerful. ²⁹ Recognize the glory that is due the LORD! Bring your offering, and come into his presence, worshiping the LORD in all of his holy splendor. ³⁰ Tremble in his presence, all the earth! Surely the inhabited world stands firm it cannot be moved. ³¹ Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad! Say to the nations, "The LORD reigns!" ³² Let the sea roar along with everything that fills it! Let the fields exult, along with everything in them! ³³ Then let the trees in the forest sing out in praise, for the LORD is coming to judge the world. ³⁴ Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good and because his gracious love is eternal! ³⁵ Call out, "Save us, God, you who delivers us! Gather us and rescue us from the nations! We will thank your holy name and rejoice as we praise you! ³⁶ Praise the LORD God of Israel, who lives from eternity to eternity! Then all of the people shouted "Amen!" and praised the LORD.
