18 Saying, "1To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your inheritance."
19 2When 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 3He reproved kings for their sakes, saying,
22 "Do not touch My anointed ones, And 4do My prophets no harm."
23 5Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
24 Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
25 For 6great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He also is 7to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are 8idols, 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, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
