1 Chronicles 16:7–22

⁷On that day David first committed to Asaph and his associates this song of thanksgiving to the LORD:

⁸“Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name;

make known His deeds among the nations.

⁹Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;

tell of all His wonders.

¹⁰Glory in His holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

¹¹Seek out the LORD and His strength;

seek His face always.

¹²Remember the wonders He has done,

His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

¹³O offspring of His servant Israel,

O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

¹⁴He is the LORD our God;

His judgments carry throughout the earth.

¹⁵Remember^b His covenant forever,

the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

¹⁶the covenant He made with Abraham,

and the oath He swore to Isaac.

¹⁷He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

¹⁸‘I will give you the land of Canaan

as the portion of your inheritance.’

¹⁹When they were few in number,

few indeed, and strangers in the land,

²⁰they wandered from nation to nation,

from one kingdom to another.

²¹He let no man oppress them;

He rebuked kings on their behalf:

²²‘Do not touch My anointed ones!

Do no harm to My prophets!’
