Song of Thanksgiving

8aOh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name;bMake known His acts among the peoples.9Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;Muse on all His wondrous deeds.10Boast in His holy name;Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh be glad.11aInquire of Yahweh and His strength;Seek His face continually.12aRemember His wondrous deeds which He has done,bHis miraculous signs and the judgments uttered by His mouth,13O seed of Israel His servant,O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!14He is Yahweh our God;aHis judgments are in all the earth.15Remember His covenant forever,The word which He commanded for a thousand generations,16aWhich He cut with Abraham,And His oath to Isaac.17aThen He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,To Israel as an everlasting covenant,18Saying, “aTo you I will give the land of Canaan,As the portion of your inheritance,”19aWhen you were only a few men in number,Of little account, and sojourners in it,20And they wandered about from nation to nation,And from one kingdom to another people,21He permitted no man to oppress them,And aHe reproved kings for their sakes,22Do not touch My anointed ones,And aagainst My prophets do no evil.”23aSing to Yahweh, all the earth;Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.24Recount His glory among the nations,His wondrous deeds among all the peoples.25For agreat is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised;And He is 1,bmore 2fearsome than all gods.26For all the gods of the peoples are 1,aidols,bBut Yahweh made the heavens.27Splendor and majesty are before Him,Strength and joy are in His place.28Ascribe to Yahweh, O families of the peoples,Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.29Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;Lift up 1an offering, and come before Him;aWorship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.30Tremble before Him, all the earth;Indeed, the world is established, it will not be shaken.31aLet the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;And let them say among the nations, “bYahweh reigns.”32aLet the sea 1roar, as well as its fullness;Let the field exult, and all that is in it.33Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh;For He is coming to judge the earth.34aOh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good,For His lovingkindness endures forever.35aThen say, “Save us, O God of our salvation,And gather us and deliver us from among the nations,To give thanks to Your holy nameAnd revel in Your praise.”36aBlessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,From everlasting to everlasting. Then all the people bsaid, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.
