1 Chronicles 16:12-22

12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

13 You seed of Yisra'el his servant, You children of Ya`akov, his chosen ones.

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

15 Remember his covenant forever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

16 [The covenant] which he made with Avraham, His oath to Yitzchak,

17 Confirmed the same to Ya`akov for a statute, To Yisra'el for an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, To you will I give the land of Kana`an, The lot of your inheritance;

19 When you were but a few men in number, Yes, very few, and sojourners in it;

20 They went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.

21 He allowed no man to do them wrong; Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22 [Saying], Don't touch my anointed ones, Do my prophets no harm.
