March 8 - 1 Chronicles 16.7-36

Sponsored by DailyBible Email

7It was then that David first gave Asaph and the other Levites the responsibility for singing praises to the LORD.

A Song of Praise
(Psalms 105.1-15; 96.1-13; 106.T, 47, 48)

8Give thanks to the LORD, proclaim his greatness;
tell the nations what he has done.
9Sing praise to the LORD;
tell the wonderful things he has done.
10Be glad that we belong to him;
let all who worship him rejoice!
11Go to the LORD for help,
and worship him continually.
12-13You descendants of Jacob, God's servant,
descendants of Israel, whom God chose,
remember the miracles that God performed
and the judgments that he gave.
14The LORD is our God;
his commands are for all the world.
15Never forget God's covenant,
which he made to last forever,
16 the covenant he made with Abraham,
the promise he made to Isaac.
17The LORD made a covenant with Jacob,
one that will last forever.
18"I will give you the land of Canaan," he said.
"It will be your own possession."

19God's people were few in number,
strangers in the land of Canaan.
20They wandered from country to country,
from one kingdom to another.
21But 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."

23Sing to the LORD, all the world!
Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us.
24Proclaim his glory to the nations,
his mighty deeds to all peoples.

25The LORD is great and is to be highly praised;
he is to be honored more than all the gods.
26The gods of all other nations are only idols,
but the LORD created the heavens.
27Glory and majesty surround him,
power and joy fill his Temple.

28Praise the LORD, all people on earth,
praise his glory and might.
29Praise 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.
31Be glad, earth and sky!
Tell the nations that the LORD is king.
32Roar, sea, and every creature in you;
be glad, fields, and everything in you!
33The trees in the woods will shout for joy
when the LORD comes to rule the earth.

34Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good;
his love is eternal.
35Say to him, "Save us, O God our Savior;
gather us together; rescue us from the nations,
so that we may be thankful
and praise your holy name."
36Praise the LORD, the God of Israel!
Praise him now and forever!

Then all the people said, "Amen," and praised the LORD.
