Give Glory to the Lord

96 Sing a new song to the Lord!
    Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Sing to the Lord!
    Bless his name!
        Proclaim his deliverance every day!
Declare his glory among the nations
    and his awesome deeds among all the peoples!

For the Lord is great,
    and greatly to be praised;
        he is awesome above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
    might and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe to the Lord, you families of peoples,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name,
    bring an offering and enter his courts!
Worship the Lord in holy splendor;
    tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Declare among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
    Indeed, he established the world so that it will not falter.
        He will judge people fairly.
11 The heavens will be glad
    and the earth will rejoice;
        even the sea and everything that fills it will roar.[a]

12 The field and all that is in it will rejoice;
    then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
13 in the Lord’s presence,
because he is coming;
    indeed, he will come to judge the earth.
He will judge the world fairly
    and its people reliably.

Thanksgiving for God’s Deliverance

105 Give thanks to the Lord,
    call on his name,
        and make his deeds known among the people.
Sing to him! Praise him!
    Declare all his awesome deeds!
Exult in his holy name;
    let all[a] those who seek the Lord rejoice!
Seek the Lord and his strength;
    seek his face continually.
Remember his awesome deeds that he has done,
    his wonders and the judgments he declared.
You descendants of Abraham, his servant,
    You children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

He is the Lord our God;
    his judgments extend to the entire earth.
He remembers his eternal covenant—
    every promise he made[b] for a thousand generations,
like the covenant he made[c] with Abraham,
    and his promise to Isaac.
10 He presented it to Jacob as a decree,
    to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
11 He said: “I will give Canaan to you
    as the allotted portion that is your inheritance.”

12 When the Hebrews[d] were few in number—so very few—
    and were sojourners in it,
13 they wandered from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another.[e]
14 He did not allow anyone to oppress them,
    or any kings to reprove them.
15 “Don’t touch my anointed
    or hurt my prophets!”
