1 Chronicles 16:7-14

David's Psalm of Thanksgiving

7 On that day David decreed for the first time that thanks be given to the Lord by Asaph and his relatives:

8 Give thanks to the Lord; call on His name; proclaim His deeds among the peoples.

9 Sing to Him; sing praise to Him; tell about all His wonderful works!

10 Honor His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

11 Search for the Lord and for His strength; seek His face always.

12 Remember the wonderful works He has done, His wonders, and the judgments He has pronounced,^[a]

13 you offspring of Israel His servant, Jacob's descendants-His chosen ones.

14 He is the Lord our God; His judgments [govern] the whole earth.
