1 Chronicles 16:14-24

14 He is God, our God; wherever you go you come on his judgments and decisions.

15 He keeps his commitments across thousands of generations, the covenant he commanded,

16 The same one he made with Abraham, the very one he swore to Isaac;

17 He posted it in big block letters to Jacob, this eternal covenant with Israel:

18 "I give you the land of Canaan, this is your inheritance;

19 Even though you're not much to look at, a few straggling strangers."

20 They wandered from country to country, camped out in one kingdom after another;

21 But he didn't let anyone push them around, he stood up for them against bully-kings:

22 "Don't you dare touch my anointed ones, don't lay a hand on my prophets."

23 Sing to God, everyone and everything! Get out his salvation news every day!

24 Publish his glory among the godless nations, his wonders to all races and religions.
