Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his loyal love endures.
Give thanks to the God of gods,
for his loyal love endures.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
for his loyal love endures,
to the one who performs magnificent, amazing deeds all by himself,
for his loyal love endures,
to the one who used wisdom to make the heavens,
for his loyal love endures,
to the one who spread out the earth over the water,
for his loyal love endures,
to the one who made the great lights,
for his loyal love endures,
the sun to rule by day,
for his loyal love endures,
the moon and stars to rule by night,
for his loyal love endures,
to the one who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
for his loyal love endures,
and led Israel out from their midst,
for his loyal love endures,
with a strong hand and an outstretched arm,
for his loyal love endures,
to the one who divided the Red Sea in two,
for his loyal love endures,
and led Israel through its midst,
for his loyal love endures,
and tossed Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea,
for his loyal love endures,
to the one who led his people through the wilderness,
for his loyal love endures,
to the one who struck down great kings,
for his loyal love endures,
and killed powerful kings,
for his loyal love endures,
Sihon, king of the Amorites,
for his loyal love endures,
Og, king of Bashan,
for his loyal love endures,
and gave their land as an inheritance,
for his loyal love endures,
as an inheritance to Israel his servant,
for his loyal love endures,
to the one who remembered us when we were down,
for his loyal love endures,
and snatched us away from our enemies,
for his loyal love endures,
to the one who gives food to all living things,
for his loyal love endures.
Give thanks to the God of heaven,
for his loyal love endures!
