1 Chronicles 16:8-18

8 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

9 Sing to him, sing psalms to him, talk ye of all his wonderous works.

10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

12 Remember his wonderful works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 He [is] the LORD our God; his judgments [are] in all the earth.

15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations;

16 [Even of the covenant] which he made with Abraham, and of his oath to Isaac;

17 And which he confirmed to Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
