1. O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name, make known His doings among the peoples!
2. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; meditate on and talk of all His marvelous deeds and devoutly praise them.
3. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek and require the Lord [as their indispensable necessity].
4. Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation); seek and require His face and His presence [continually] evermore.
5. [Earnestly] remember the marvelous deeds that He has done, His miracles and wonders, the judgments and sentences which He pronounced [upon His enemies, as in Egypt]. [Ps. 78:43-51.]
6. O you offspring of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones,
7. He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
8. He is [earnestly] mindful of His covenant and forever it is imprinted on His heart, the word which He commanded and established to a thousand generations,
9. The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His sworn promise to Isaac, [Luke 1:72, 73.]
10. Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
