1 Chronicles 16:12-22

12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done , his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying , Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

19 When ye were but few *, even a few, and strangers in it.

20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

21 He suffered no man to do them wrong : yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm .
