Give thanks to God the Lord;
Upon His name now call.
Make known among the people on earth
What He has done for all.
Sing praise to Him, now sing;
His wondrous acts proclaim.
Rejoice, all you who seek the Lord;
Come glory in His name.
Look to the Lord’s great strength;
Remember all His deeds.
His judgments are in all the earth;
He is the Lord indeed.
His covenant e’er will stand;
His oath He’ll ne’er forget.
A thousand generations pass;
God’s word continues yet.
Sing to the Lord, all earth;
His saving power proclaim.
Declare His glory to every race;
His marvelous deeds now name.
For great is God the Lord,
Most worthy of all praise.
He made the heavens and the earth;
Fear Him and give Him praise.
Splendor and majesty
Before the Lord are found.
Both strength and joy with Him do dwell;
Bring offerings, come bow down.
Ascribe unto the Lord
The glory due His name;
The splendor of His holiness
Now worship and proclaim.
Let now the heav’ns rejoice;
Let earth give glad refrain.
The world is ’stablished, ne’er to be moved;
Tell everyone God reigns!
Now let the sea resound,
Be jubilant, all fields;
The forest trees will sing for joy;
Earth’s judge is now revealed.
Give thanks to God the Lord;
His goodness now declare.
He saves, delivers from the foe;
His love endures fore’er.
Give thanks unto His name
And glory in His praise;
Praise to the God of Israel
For everlasting days.
