[Verse 1 – Remembrance & Identity]
Remember the wonders He has done;
His portents and the judgments He has pronounced,
O offspring of Israel, His servant,
O descendants of Jacob, His chosen ones.
He is the Lord our God;
His judgments are throughout the earth.

[Verse 2 – Covenant Promise]
Be ever mindful of His covenant,
the promise He gave for a thousand generations,
that He made with Abraham,
swore to Isaac,
and confirmed in a decree for Jacob,
for Israel, as an eternal covenant,
saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
as your allotted heritage.”

[Verse 3 – Protection & Purpose]
You were then few in number,
a handful, merely sojourning there,
wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
He allowed no one to oppress them;
He reproved kings on their account,
“Do not touch My anointed ones;
do not harm My prophets.”

[Verse 4 – Global Proclamation]
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Proclaim His victory day after day.
Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wondrous deeds among all peoples.
For the Lord is great and much acclaimed,
He is held in awe by all divine beings.
All the gods of the peoples are mere idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.

[Bridge – Majesty and Power]
Glory and majesty are before Him;
strength and joy are in His place.

[Verse 5 – Universal Praise]
Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory of His name,
bring tribute and enter before Him,
bow down to the Lord majestic in holiness.
Tremble in His presence, all the earth!
The world stands firm; it cannot be shaken.

[Verse 6 – Nature’s Chorus]
Let the heavens rejoice and the earth exult;
let them declare among the nations, “The Lord is King!”
Let the sea and all within it thunder,
the fields and everything in them exult;
then shall all the trees of the forest shout for joy
at the presence of the Lord,
for He is coming to rule the earth.

[Outro / Benediction]
Praise the Lord for He is good;
His steadfast love is eternal.

[Final Refrain / Prayer]
Declare:
Deliver us, O God, our deliverer,
and gather us and save us from the nations,
to acclaim Your holy name,
to glory in Your praise.

[Closing Blessing]
Blessed is the Lord, God of Israel, from eternity to eternity.
And all the people said, “Amen” and “Praise the Lord.”
