1 Chronicles 16:23-36

David's Song of Thanks

23 t Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Tell of his salvation from day to day.
 24 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
 25 For u great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and he is to be held in awe v above all gods.
 26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
w but the Lord made the heavens.
 27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.

28 Ascribe to the Lord, O clans of the peoples,
x ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
 29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him!
y Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; 1
30 tremble before him, all the earth;
yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
 31 z Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,
and let them say among the nations, a "The Lord reigns!"
 32 b Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it!
 33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.
 34 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!

35 c Say also:
"Save us, O God of our salvation,
and gather and deliver us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name,
and glory in your praise.

36 d Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!"
e Then all the people said, "Amen!" and praised the Lord.
