O God, it is right for us to praise you in Zion and keep our promises to you,

I will bring burnt offerings to your house; I will offer you what I promised.

I will give you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and offer my prayer to you.

(SEE 116:18)

They will reach Jerusalem with gladness, singing and shouting for joy. They will be happy forever, forever free from sorrow and grief.

Sing to the LORD, and praise him! Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us.

Praise the LORD, my soul! All my being, praise his holy name!

Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget how kind he is.

Praise the LORD, you strong and mighty angels, who obey his commands, who listen to what he says.

Praise the LORD, all his creatures in all the places he rules. Praise the LORD, my soul! Praise the LORD, my soul!

I will proclaim your greatness, my God and king; I will thank you forever and ever.

Every day I will thank you; I will praise you forever and ever.

Now, our God, we give you thanks, and we praise your glorious name.

Then David commanded the people, "Praise the LORD your God!" And the whole assembly praised the LORD, the God of their ancestors, and they bowed low and gave honor to the LORD and also to the king.

Christ's message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts.

Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks through him to God the Father.

Let us, then, always offer praise to God as our sacrifice through Jesus, which is the offering presented by lips that confess him as Lord.
