1 Chronicles 16:8–22

Psalm of Thanksgiving

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

^bMake known His deeds among the peoples.

⁹Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;

¹Speak of all His ²wonders.

¹⁰¹Glory in His holy name;

Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.

^11aSeek the Lord and His strength;

Seek His face continually.

^12aRemember His wonderful deeds which He has done,

^bHis marvels and the judgments from His mouth,

¹³O seed of Israel His servant,

Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

¹⁴He is the Lord our God;

^aHis judgments are in all the earth.

¹⁵Remember His covenant forever,

The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

^16aThe covenant which He made with Abraham,

And His oath to Isaac.

^17aHe 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 they were only a few in number,

Very few, and strangers 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, saying,

²²“Do not touch My anointed ones,

And ^ado My prophets no harm.”
