1 Chronicles 16:8–36

⁸O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;

Make known his doings among the peoples.

⁹Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;

Talk ye of all his marvellous works.

¹⁰Glory ye in his holy name;

Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

¹¹Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;

Seek his face evermore.

¹²Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,

His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

¹³O ye seed of Israel his servant,

Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

¹⁴He is Jehovah our God;

His judgments are in all the earth.

¹⁵Remember his covenant for ever,

The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

¹⁶The covenant which he made with Abraham,

And his oath unto Isaac,

¹⁷And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,

To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

¹⁸Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,

The lot of your inheritance;

¹⁹When ye were but a few men in number,

Yea, very few, and sojourners in it;

²⁰And they went about from nation to nation,

And from one kingdom to another people.

²¹He suffered no man to do them wrong;

Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

²²Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,

And do my prophets no harm.

²³Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth;

Show forth his salvation from day to day.

²⁴Declare his glory among the nations,

His marvellous works among all the peoples.

²⁵For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised:

He also is to be feared above all gods.

²⁶For all the gods of the peoples are idols:

But Jehovah made the heavens.

²⁷Honor and majesty are before him:

Strength and gladness are in his place.

²⁸Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples,

Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength;

²⁹Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name:

Bring an offering, and come before him;

Worship Jehovah in holy array.

³⁰Tremble before him, all the earth:

The world also is established that it cannot be moved.

³¹Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;

And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth.

³²Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

Let the field exult, and all that is therein;

³³Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Jehovah;

For he cometh to judge the earth.

³⁴O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

³⁵And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation,

And gather us together and deliver us from the nations,

To give thanks unto thy holy name,

And to triumph in thy praise.

³⁶Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,

From everlasting even to everlasting.

And all the people said, Amen, and praised Jehovah.
