1 Chronicles 16:9–24

9 Sing to him; sing praise to him;

tell about all his wondrous works!

10 Boast in his holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

11 Seek the Lord and his strength;

seek his face always.b

12 Remember the wondrous works he has done,c

his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,B,d

13 you offspring of Israel his servant,

Jacob’s descendants—his chosen ones.

14 He is the Lord our God;

his judgments govern the whole earth.e

15 Remember his covenant forever—

the promise he ordained for a thousand generations,

16 the covenant he made with Abraham,

sworeA to Isaac,f

17 and confirmed to Jacob as a decree,

and to Israel as a permanent covenant:g

18 “I will give the land of Canaan to you

as your inherited portion.”h

19 When theyB were few in number,

very few indeed,i and resident aliens in Canaan

20 wandering from nation to nation

and from one kingdom to another,

21 he allowed no one to oppress them;

he rebuked kings on their behalf:j

22 “Do not touch my anointed ones

or harm my prophets.”k

23 Let the whole earth singl to the Lord.

Proclaim his salvation from day to day.

24 Declare his glory among the nations,

his wondrous works among all peoples.
