Praising God by King David

1 Chronicles 16:7-12,14-36
[7]It was then that David first gave Asaph and his fellow-Levites the responsibility for singing praises to the Lord.
[8]Give thanks to the Lord, proclaim his greatness;     tell the nations what he has done.
[9]Sing praise to the Lord;     tell the wonderful things he has done.
[10]Be glad that we belong to him;     let all who worship him rejoice!
[11]Go to the Lord for help,     and worship him continually.
12 You descendants of Jacob, God’s servant,     descendants of Israel, whom God chose,     remember the miracles that God performed     and the judgements that he gave.
[14]The Lord is our God;     his commands are for all the world.
[15]Never forget God’s covenant,     which he made to last for ever,
[16]the covenant he made with Abraham,     the promise he made to Isaac.
[17]The Lord made a covenant with Jacob,     one that will last for ever.
[18]“I will give you the land of Canaan,” he said.     “It will be your own possession.”
[19]God’s people were few in number,     strangers in the land of Canaan.
[20]They wandered from country to country,     from one kingdom to another.
[21]But God let no one oppress them;     to protect them, he warned the kings:
[22]“Don’t harm my chosen servants;     do not touch my prophets.”
[23]Sing to the Lord, all the world!     Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us.
[24]Proclaim his glory to the nations,     his mighty deeds to all peoples.
[25]The Lord is great and is to be highly praised;     he is to be honoured more than all the gods.
[26]The gods of all other nations are only idols,     but the Lord created the heavens.
[27]Glory and majesty surround him,     power and joy fill his Temple.
[28]Praise the Lord, all people on earth,     praise his glory and might.
[29]Praise the Lord’s glorious name;     bring an offering and come into his Temple. Bow down before the Holy One when he appears;    
[30]tremble before him, all the earth! The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.
[31]Be glad, earth and sky!     Tell the nations that the Lord is king.
[32]Roar, sea, and every creature in you;     be glad, fields, and everything in you!
[33]The trees in the woods will shout for joy     when the Lord comes to rule the earth.
[34]Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good;     his love is eternal.
[35]Say to him, “Save us, O God our Saviour;     gather us together; rescue us from the nations,     so that we may be thankful     and praise your holy name.”
[36]Praise the Lord, the God of Israel! Praise him now and for ever!Then all the people said, “Amen”, and praised the Lord.
