1 Chronicles 16:7-17

7 That day David first gave Asaph and his relatives the job of singing praises to the Lord.

8 Give thanks to the Lord and pray to him. Tell the nations what he has done.

9 Sing to him; sing praises to him. Tell about all his miracles.

10 Be glad that you are his; let those who seek the Lord be happy.

11 Depend on the Lord and his strength; always go to him for help.

12 Remember the miracles he has done, his wonders, and his decisions.

13 You are the descendants of his servant, Israel; you are the children of Jacob, his chosen people.

14 He is the Lord our God. His laws are for all the world.

15 He will keep his agreement forever; he will keep his promises always.

16 He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham and the promise he made to Isaac.

17 He made it a law for the people of Jacob; he made it an agreement with Israel to last forever.
