1 Chronicles 16:17-27

17 And he ordained that word to Jacob into a commandment; and to Israel into (an) everlasting covenant. (And he ordained that word to Jacob for a commandment; and to Israel for an everlasting covenant.)
18 And he said, To thee I shall give the land of Canaan; the part of your heritage (the portion of your inheritance).
19 When they were few in number; little, and pilgrims thereof (yea, only a few, and strangers there).
20 And they passed from folk into folk; and from a realm to another people. (And they went from nation to nation; and from one kingdom to another.)
21 He suffered not any man (to) falsely challenge them; but he blamed kings for them. (He did not allow anyone to oppress them; and he admonished kings for them.)
22 (And he said,) Do not ye touch my christs, that is, (the) patriarchs anointed with the anointing of grace; and do not ye do wickedly against my prophets.
23 All [the] earth, sing ye to the Lord; tell ye from day into day his health (tell ye of his victory day after day/tell ye of his salvation, or his deliverance, day after day).
24 Tell ye among heathen men his glory (Tell ye of his glory among the heathen); his marvels among all peoples.
25 For the Lord is great, and worthy to be praised full much; and he is horrible, that is, fearful, over all gods. (For the Lord is great, and worthy to be greatly praised; and he it is who should be feared/and it is he who should be revered, more than all the gods.)
26 For all the gods of (the) peoples be (but) idols; but the Lord made (the) heavens.
27 Acknowledging and great doing be before him; strength and joy be in the place of him. (Acknowledgement and great accomplishment, that is, honour and glory, be before him; strength and joy be in his dwelling.)
