1 Chronicles 16:8-22

8O give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; Make His deeds known among the peoples.

9Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.

10Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

11Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually [longing to be in His presence].

12Remember [with gratitude] His marvelous deeds which He has done, His miracles and the judgments from His mouth,

13O seed of Israel His servant, Children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

14He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

15Be mindful of His covenant forever, The promise which He commanded and established to a thousand generations,

16The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath (sworn promise) to Isaac.

17He confirmed it as a statute to Jacob, And to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

18Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your possession and inheritance.”

19When you were few in number, Even a very few, and strangers in it,

20When they wandered from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people,

21He allowed no man to oppress or exploit them, And, He reproved and punished kings for their sakes, saying,

22“Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”
