18 saying, 1“To you I will give the land of Canaan, as your portion for an inheritance. ”
19 When you were 2few in number, of little account, and 3sojourners in it,
20 wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
21 he allowed no one to oppress them; he 4rebuked kings on their account,
22 saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my 5prophets no harm! ”
23 6Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
25 For 7great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared 8above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, 9but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, 10ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
