Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name
Make known His deeds among the peoples
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Speak of His wonders
Glory in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad
Seek the LORD and His strength;
Seek His face continually
Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done,
His marvels and the judgements from His mouth,
O seed of Israel His servant,
Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
He is the LORD our God;
His judgements are in all the earth.
Remember HIs covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
The covenant which He made to Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
Saying,"To you I will give the land of Canaan,
As the portion of your inheritance
When they were only a few in number,
Very few, and strangers in it,
And they wandered about from nation to nation,
And from one kingdom to another people,
He permitted no man to oppress them,
And He reproved kings for their sakes, saying,
Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm."
Sing to the LORD, all the earth;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
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 peoples are idols,
But the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place.
Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name,
Bring an offering, and come before Him;
Worship the LORD in holy array
Tremble before HIm, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
And let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."
Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD;
For He is coming to judge the earth.
O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Then say, "Save us, O God of our salvation,
And gather us and deliver us from the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name,
And glory in Your praise."
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.
Amen!
King David spoke of the LORD judging the earth. I am reminded that in the midst of all I am doing I should not miss out on my own salvation. For me it is a good reminder to keep working out our salvation with fear and trembling!
