1 Chronicles 16:8–22

⁸Give praiseⁱ to the Lord, proclaim his name;

make known among the nations^j what he has done.

⁹Sing to him, sing praise^k to him;

tell of all his wonderful acts.

¹⁰Glory in his holy name;^l

let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

¹¹Look to the Lord and his strength;

seek^m his face always.

¹²Rememberⁿ the wonders^o he has done,

his miracles,^p and the judgments he pronounced,

¹³you his servants, the descendants of Israel,

his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.

¹⁴He is the Lord our God;

his judgments^q are in all the earth.

¹⁵He remembers^cr his covenant forever,

the promise he made, for a thousand generations,

¹⁶the covenant^s he made with Abraham,

the oath he swore to Isaac.

¹⁷He confirmed it to Jacob^t as a decree,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

¹⁸“To you I will give the land of Canaan^u

as the portion you will inherit.”

¹⁹When they were but few in number,^v

few indeed, and strangers in it,

²⁰they^d wandered^w from nation to nation,

from one kingdom to another.

²¹He allowed no one to oppress them;

for their sake he rebuked kings:^x

²²“Do not touch my anointed ones;

do my prophets^y no harm.”
