Call
on his name.
Make
what he has done known among the peoples.
Sing
to him.
Sing
praises to him.
Tell
of all his marvelous works.
Glory
in his holy name.
Let
the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
Seek
Yahweh and his strength.
Seek
his face forever more.
Remember
his marvelous works that he has done,
his
wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
you
offspring of Israel his servant,
you
children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He
is Yahweh our God.
His
judgments are in all the earth.
Remember
his covenant forever,
the
word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
the
covenant which he made with Abraham,
his
oath to Isaac.
He
confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
and
to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
saying,
“I will give you the land of Canaan,
The
lot of your inheritance,”
when
you were but a few men in number,
yes,
very few.
They
went about from nation to nation,
from
one kingdom to another people.
He
allowed no man to do them wrong.
Yes,
he reproved kings for their sakes,
“Don’t
touch my anointed ones!
Do
my prophets no harm!”
Sing
to Yahweh, all the earth!
Display
his salvation from day to day.
Declare
his glory among the nations,
and
his marvelous works among all the peoples.
For
great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised.
He
also is to be revered above all gods.
For
all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but
Yahweh made the heavens.
Honor
and majesty are before him.
Strength
and gladness are in his place.
Ascribe
to Yahweh, you relatives of the peoples,
ascribe
to Yahweh glory and strength!
Ascribe
to Yahweh the glory due to his name.
Bring
an offering, and come before him.
Worship
Yahweh in holy array.
Tremble
before him, all the earth.
The
world also is established that it can’t be moved.
Let
the heavens be glad,
and
let the earth rejoice!
Let
them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”
Let
the sea roar, and its fullness!
Let
the field exult, and all that is in it!
Then
the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh,
for
he comes to judge the earth.
Oh,
give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
for
his loving kindness endures forever.
Say,
“Save us, God of our salvation!
Gather
us together and deliver us from the nations,
to
give thanks to your holy name,
to
triumph in your praise.”
Blessed
be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
from
everlasting even to everlasting.
1 Chronicles 16:8-38
