1 Chronicles 16:12-22

12 Remember the wonders he has done, his signs and his spoken judgments.

13 You descendants of Isra'el his servant, you offspring of Ya'akov, his chosen ones:

14 he is ADONAI our God, His judgments are everywhere on earth.

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

16 the covenant he made with Avraham; the oath he swore to Yitz'chak

17 and established as a law for Ya'akov, for Isra'el as an everlasting covenant:

18 "To you I will give the land of Kena'an as your allotted heritage."

19 When you were but few in number, and not only few, but aliens there too,

20 wandering from nation to nation, from this kingdom to that people,

21 he allowed no one to oppress them. Yes, for their sakes he rebuked even kings:

22 "Don't touch my anointed ones or do my prophets harm!"
