1 Chronicles 16:8-36

81Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; 2Make His deeds known among the peoples.9Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; 3Speak of all His 4wonders.10Boast in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be joyful.115Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.126Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, 7His marvels and the judgments from His mouth,13You 8descendants of Israel His servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!14He is the Lord our God; 9His judgments are in all the earth.15Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,1610The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.1711He also confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,18Saying, “12To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your inheritance.”1913When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it,20And they wandered from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people,21He allowed no one to oppress them, And 14He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,22“Do not touch My anointed ones, And 15do not harm My prophets.”2316Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.24Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.25For 17great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is 18to be feared above all gods.26For all the gods of the peoples are 1920idols, 21But the Lord made the heavens.27Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place.28Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.29Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an 22offering, and come before Him; 23Worship the Lord in 24holy attire.30Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.312526Let the heavens be joyful, and the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, “27The Lord reigns.”3228Let the sea 29roar, and 30everything it contains; Let the field rejoice, and everything that is in it.33Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy in the presence of the Lord; For He is coming to judge the earth.3431Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His faithfulness is everlasting.3532Then say, “Save us, God of our salvation, And gather us and save us from the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name, And 33glory in Your praise.”3634Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting! Then all the people 35said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord.
