THANKSGIVING: Give thanks to the LORD - 1 Chronicles 16:8

Holy scripture of the day - A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim His greatness.
    Let the whole world know what He has done.
Sing to Him; yes, sing His praises.
    Tell everyone about His wonderful deeds.
Exult in His holy name;
    rejoice, you who worship the Lord.
Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!
    He is to be feared above all gods.
The gods of other nations are mere idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens!
Honor and majesty surround Him;
    strength and joy fill His dwelling.
O nations of the world, recognize the Lord,
    recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong.
Give to the Lord the glory He deserves!
    Bring your offering and come into His presence.
Worship the Lord in all His holy splendor.
    Let all the earth tremble before him.
    The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice!
    Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
Let the sea and everything in it shout His praise!
    Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy!
Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord,
    for He is coming to judge the earth.
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
    His faithful love endures forever.
Cry out, “Save us, O God of our salvation!
    Gather and rescue us from among the nations,
    so we can thank Your holy name
    and rejoice and praise You.”
Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,
    who lives from everlasting to everlasting!
And all the people shouted “Amen!” and praised the Lord.
1 Chronicles 16:8-10, 26-36 NLT
