1 Chronicles 16:8–22

Song of Thanksgiving

^8aOh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name;

^bMake known His acts among the peoples.

⁹Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;

Muse on all His wondrous deeds.

¹⁰Boast in His holy name;

Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh be glad.

^11aInquire of Yahweh and His strength;

Seek His face continually.

^12aRemember His wondrous deeds which He has done,

^bHis miraculous signs and the judgments uttered by His mouth,

¹³O seed of Israel His servant,

O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

¹⁴He is Yahweh our God;

^aHis judgments are in all the earth.

¹⁵Remember His covenant forever,

The word which He commanded for a thousand generations,

^16aWhich He cut with Abraham,

And His oath to Isaac.

^17aThen He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,

To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

¹⁸Saying, “^aTo you I will give the land of Canaan,

As the portion of your inheritance,”

^19aWhen you were only a few men in number,

Of little account, and sojourners in it,

²⁰And they wandered about from nation to nation,

And from one kingdom to another people,

²¹He permitted no man to oppress them,

And ^aHe reproved kings for their sakes,

²²“Do not touch My anointed ones,

And ^aagainst My prophets do no evil.”
