1 Chronicles 16:8-22

8“Give thanks to the Lord. Call on his name. Make known among the nations what he has done.

9Sing to him. Make music to praise him. Meditate on all the miracles he has done.

10Brag about his holy name. Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

11Search for the Lord and his strength. Always seek his presence.

12Remember the miracles he performed, the amazing things he did and the judgments he pronounced,

13you descendants of Israel, his servant, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14“He is the Lord our God. His judgments are pronounced throughout the earth.

15Remember his promise  forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations,

16the promise that he made to Abraham, and his sworn promise to Isaac.

17He confirmed it as a law for Jacob, as an everlasting promise to Israel,

18by saying, ‘I will give you Canaan. It is your share of the inheritance.’

19“While they were few in number, a small group of foreigners living in that land,

20they wandered from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another.

21He didn’t permit anyone to oppress them. He warned kings about them:

22‘Do not touch my anointed ones or harm my prophets.’
