1 Chronicles 16:8-22
David’s Song of Thanks
8 a Oh give thanks to the Lord; b call upon his name;c make known his deeds among the peoples!
9 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
10 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
11 d Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually!
12 e Remember the wondrous works that he has done,
f his miracles and the judgments he uttered,
13 O offspring of Israel his servant,
children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God;
g his judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
16 the covenant h that he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,
17 which i he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18 saying j “To you I will give the land of Canaan,
as your portion for an inheritance.”
19 When you were k few in number,
of little account, and l sojourners in it,
20 wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
21 he allowed no one to oppress them;
he m rebuked kings on their account,
22 saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,
do my n prophets no harm!”
