1 Chronicles 16:8-18

Psalm of Thanksgiving

8 ¹Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; ²Make known His deeds among the peoples.

9 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.

10 Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.

11 ³Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.

12 ⁴Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, ⁵His 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; ⁶His judgments are in all the earth.

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

16 ⁷The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.

17 ⁸He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, "⁹To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your inheritance."
