1 Chronicles 16:8-22

Thomson(i) 8 O give thanks to the Lord, Invoke him by his name; Among peoples make known his designs. 9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Proclaim to all the wonders which the Lord hath done. 10 Sing praises to his holy name. Let the heart which seeketh his favour be triad. 11 Seek the Lord and persevere; Seek his face continually. 12 Remember the wonders which he hath done; The miracles and judgments of his mouth. 13 The seed of Israel are his servants; The sons of Jacob, his chosen ones. 14 He is the Lord our God; In all this land are his judgments. 15 Let us ever remember his covenant; His word which he enjoined for a thousand generations. 16 The covenant which he made with Abraham; And the oath which he sware to Isaak, 17 This he confirmed for a law to Jacob; To Israel as an everlasting covenant, 18 Saying, To thee I will give the land of Chanaan, To be the portion of your inheritance. 19 When they were very few in number; Of little account, and sojourned therein; 20 When they were passing from nation to nation; And from one kingdom to another people; 21 He suffered no man to oppress them; He rebuked kings for their sake 22 Touch not these my anointed ones, And to these my prophets do no harm.
