1 Chronicles 16:7-17

7 In that day, David made Asaph prince, and his brethren, for to acknowledge to the Lord. (On that day, David first ordained Asaph, and his kinsmen, to give praise and thanks to the Lord, and to proclaim to the people, saying,)
8 Acknowledge ye to the Lord, and inwardly call ye (on) his name; make ye his findings known among peoples. (Give ye thanks to the Lord, and call ye on his name; make ye his deeds known among the peoples.)
9 Sing ye to him, and say ye psalm to him, and tell ye all his marvels (and tell ye of all his marvellous deeds).
10 Praise ye his holy name; the heart of men seeking the Lord be glad (let the hearts of those seeking the Lord be glad).
11 Seek ye the Lord and his strength; seek ye ever[more] his face (seek ye his face forevermore).
12 Have ye mind of his marvels that he hath done; of his signs, and of the dooms of his mouth. (Remember the marvels that he hath done; his signs, and the judgements from his mouth.)
13 The seed of Israel, his servant, praise thou God; the sons of Jacob, his chosen, praise ye God. (Let the descendants of his servant Israel, praise ye God; let the children of Jacob, his chosen, praise ye God.)
14 He is the Lord our God; his dooms be in each land (let his judgements be in every land).
15 Have ye mind without end of his covenant; of the word which he covenanted into a thousand generations. (Remember his covenant forevermore; yea, the word which he covenanted to a thousand generations.)
16 Which word he covenanted with Abraham; and of his oath to Isaac.
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.)
