Tell all the nations about his miracles.

⁴ The Lord is great!
He should be highly praised.

⁵ because all the gods of the nations are idols.
The Lord made the heavens.
⁶ Splendor and majesty are in his presence.
Strength and beauty are in his holy place.

⁷ Give to the Lord, you families of the nations.
Give to the Lord glory and power.

The earth stands firm; it cannot be moved.
He will judge people fairly.
¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad.
Let the sea and everything in it roar like thunder.

Then all the trees in the forest will sing joyfully
¹³ in the Lord’s presence because he is coming.
He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness and its people with his truth.

105 Give thanks to the Lord.

Always seek his presence.
⁵ Remember the miracles he performed,
the amazing things he did, and the judgments he pronounced,
⁶ you descendants of his servant Abraham,
you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.

⁷ He is the Lord our God.
His judgments are pronounced throughout the earth.
⁸ He always remembers his promise,^[a]
the word that he commanded for a thousand generations,
⁹ the promise that he made to Abraham,
and his sworn oath to Isaac.
¹⁰ He confirmed it as a law for Jacob,
as an everlasting promise to Israel,
¹¹ by saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan.
It is your share of the inheritance.”

¹² While the people of Israel were few in number,
a small group of foreigners living in that land,
¹³ they wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
¹⁴ He didn’t permit anyone to oppress them.
He warned kings about them:
¹⁵ “Do not touch my anointed ones
or harm my prophets.”

106 Hallelujah!

Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
because his mercy endures forever.

⁴⁷ Rescue us, O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations
so that we may give thanks to your holy name
and make your praise our glory.

⁴⁸ Thanks be to the Lord God of Israel
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say amen.

Hallelujah!
