1 Chronicles 16:12-22

12 ¹Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, ²His marvels and the judgments from His mouth,

13 O seed of Israel His servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

14 He is the LORD our God; ³His judgments are in all the earth.

15 Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

16 ⁴The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.

17 ⁵He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, "⁶To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your inheritance."

19 ⁷When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it,

20 And they wandered about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people,

21 He permitted no man to oppress them, And ⁸He reproved kings for their sakes, saying,

22 "Do not touch My anointed ones, And ⁹do My prophets no harm."
