1 Chronicles 16:15-25

15 He is mindful of his covenant for ever, of the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,

16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,

17 which he confirmed as a statute to Jacob, as an everlasting covenant to Israel,

18 saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, as your portion for an inheritance."

19 When they were few in number, and of little account, and sojourners in it,

20 wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,

21 he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,

22 saying, "Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!"

23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day.

24 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!

25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be held in awe above all gods.
