"Nun saget Dank und lobt den Herren" (Now say thanks and praise the Lord) is a Christian hymn in German, paraphrasing Psalm 118.
The German text was originally written by Ambrosius Lobwasser in the 16th century as a translation, meant to match the music from the French Genevan Psalter.
[2] In the Genevan Psalter, commissioned by Calvin, all psalms were included in French-language metric paraphrase, and associated with melodies.
The melody is also used for other hymns, such as "Nun singt ein neues Lied dem Herren".
[2] The hymn is widely used, being present in both Protestant and Catholic hymnals,[2][3][1] as well as in various non-denominational and ecumenical collections.
