Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank
the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Give
thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that
seek the LORD.
Seek the LORD and his
strength, seek his face continually.
Remember
his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded
to a thousand generations;
Even of
the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of
your inheritance;
When ye were but
few, even a few, and strangers in it.
And
when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day
his salvation.
Declare his glory among
the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
For
great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness
are in his place.
Give unto the LORD,
ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship
the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Fear
before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD
reigneth.
Let the sea roar, and the
fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge
the earth.
O give thanks unto the LORD;
for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
And
say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks
to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.
Blessed
be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
1 Chronicles 16:7-36
