1 Chronicles 16:16-26

16 This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.

17 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:

18 “I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.”

19 He said this when you were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

20 They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

21 Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf:

22 “Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.”

23 Let the whole earth sing to the LORD ! Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.

24 Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.

25 Great is the LORD ! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods.

26 The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the LORD made the heavens!
