1 O GIVE thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.2 O give thanks to the God of gods; for his mercy endures for ever.3 O give thanks to the LORD of lords; for his mercy endures for ever.4 To him who alone does great wonders; for his mercy endures for ever.5 To him who by wisdom made the heavens; for his mercy endures for ever.6 To him who stretched out the earth above the waters; for his mercy endures for ever.7 To him who made great lights; for his mercy endures for ever;8 The sun to rule by day; for his mercy endures for ever;9 The moon and stars to rule by night; for his mercy endures for ever.
10 To him who smote the first-born of Egypt; for his mercy endures for ever;11 And brought out Israel from among them; for his mercy endures for ever;12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm; for his mercy endures for ever.13 To him who divided the Red sea into parts; for his mercy endures for ever;14 And Israel to pass through the midst of it; for his mercy endures for ever;15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea; for his mercy endures for ever.16 To him who led his people through the wilderness; for his mercy endures for ever.17 To him who smote great kings; for his mercy endures for ever;18 And slew mighty kings; for his mercy endures for ever;19 Sihon king of the Amorites; for his mercy endures for ever;20 And Og the king of Bashan; for his mercy endures for ever;21 And gave their land for a heritage; for his mercy endures for ever;22 Even a heritage to Israel his servant; for his mercy endures for ever.
23 Who remembered us during our affliction; for his mercy endures for ever;24 And has saved us from our enemies; for his mercy endures for ever.25 Who gives food to all flesh; for his mercy endures for ever.26 O give thanks to the God who is in heaven; for his mercy endures for ever.
