1 Chronicles 16:8-22

Modern English Version

⁸ Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name;
    make known His deeds among the peoples.
⁹ Sing to Him, sing praise to Him,
    recount all His wonders.
¹⁰ Glory in His holy name;
    let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
¹¹ Seek the Lord and His strength;
    seek His face continually.

¹² Remember His wonders which He has done,
    His wonders and the judgments of His mouth,
¹³ O seed of Israel, His servant,
    O sons of Jacob, His chosen.
¹⁴ He is the Lord our God;
    His judgments are in all the earth.

¹⁵ Remember His covenant forever,
    the word He commanded for a thousand generations,
¹⁶ that He made with Abraham,
    even His oath to Isaac.
¹⁷ He confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
    to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
¹⁸ saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
    as the portion of your inheritance.”

¹⁹ When you were few in number,
    few indeed, and strangers there,
²⁰ when they wandered from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another,
²¹ He allowed no man to oppress them;
    He rebuked kings on their account,
²² saying, “Do not touch My anointed,
    and do My prophets no harm.”
