1 Chronicles 16:17-27

17 and hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 saying, "Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,"

19 when ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,

21 He suffered no man do them wrong; yea, He reproved kings for their sakes,

22 saying, "Touch not Mine anointed, and do My prophets no harm."

23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day His salvation.

24 Declare His glory among the heathen, His marvelous works among all nations.

25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.

26 For all the gods of the people are idols; but the LORD made the heavens.

27 Glory and honor are in His presence; strength and gladness are in His place.
