What is the context?
The song calls the people to give thanks, call upon the Lord, and make His deeds known among the nations. Singing and speaking about His wonders belong together.
The people are also to seek the Lord and His strength and remember His works and judgments. Their identity as Israel and Jacob’s descendants is joined to an active response, not treated as a substitute for seeking Him.
The song names the Lord as their God while declaring that His judgments extend throughout the earth. Its praise already reaches beyond the boundaries of the gathered assembly.
How is this passage commonly understood?
These lines closely parallel Psalm 105:1–7, as Wesley observes for the larger song. Comparing the texts shows a shared language of remembrance and praise. It does not by itself establish a complete account of when every form of the song was composed.
