1 Chronicles 16:7-23
7Then on that day aDavid first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the Lord by Asaph and his brothers.David’s Song of Thanks
8 bOh give thanks to the Lord; ccall upon his name;dmake known his deeds among the peoples!
9Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
10Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
11 eSeek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually!
12 fRemember the wondrous works that he has done,
ghis miracles and the judgments he uttered,
13O offspring of Israel his servant,
children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God;
hhis judgments are in all the earth.
15Remember his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
16the covenant ithat he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,
17which jhe confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18saying, k“To you I will give the land of Canaan,
as your portion for an inheritance.”
19 When you were lfew in number,
of little account, and msojourners in it,
20wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
21he allowed no one to oppress them;
he nrebuked kings on their account,
22saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,
do my oprophets no harm!”
23 pSing to the Lord, all the earth!
Tell of his salvation from day to day.
