16 8 O give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples!
16 9 Sing to him, sing praises to him,
tell of all his wonderful works!
16 10 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek Yahweh rejoice!
16 11 Seek Yahweh and his strength,
seek his presence continually!
16 12 Remember the wonderful works that he has done,
the wonders he wrought,
the judgments he uttered,
16 13 O offspring of Abraham his servant,
sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
16 14 He is Yahweh our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
16 15 He is mindful of his covenant for ever,
of the word that he commanded,
for a thousand generations,
16 16 the covenant which he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,
16 17 which he confirmed as a statute to Jacob,
as an everlasting covenant to Israel,
16 18 saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan,
as your portion for an inheritance."
16 19 When they were few in number,
and of little account,
and sojourners in it,
16 20 wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
16 21 he allowed no one to oppress them;
he rebuked kings on their account,
16 22 saying, "Touch not my anointed ones,
do my prophets no harm!"
16 23 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth!
Tell of his salvation from day to day.
16 24 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
16 25 For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised,
and he is to be held in awe above all gods.
16 26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols;
but Yahweh made the heavens.
16 27 Honour and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.
16 28 Ascribe to Yahweh, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
16 29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due his name;
bring an offering, and come before him!
Worship Yahweh in holy array;
16 30 tremble before him, all the earth;
yea, the world stands firm, never to be moved.
16 31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,
and let them say among the nations, "Yahweh reigns!"
16 32 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it,
let the field exult, and everything in it!
16 33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Yahweh,
for he comes to judge the earth.
16 34 O give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures for ever!
