1 Chronicles 16:8-22
Amplified Bible
Psalm of Thanksgiving
8
O give thanks to the Lord, call on His name;
Make His deeds known among the peoples.
9
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Speak of all His wonders.
10
Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11
Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face continually [longing to be in His presence].
12
Remember [with gratitude] His marvelous deeds which He has done,
His miracles and the judgments from His mouth,
13
O seed of Israel His servant,
[a]Children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14
He is the Lord our God;
His judgments are in all the earth.
15
Be mindful of His covenant forever,
The promise which He commanded and established to a thousand generations,
16
The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath (sworn promise) to Isaac.
17
He confirmed it as a statute to Jacob,
And to Israel as an everlasting covenant,(A)
18
Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,
As the portion of your possession and inheritance.”
19
When you were few in number,
Even a very few, and strangers in it,
20
When they wandered from nation to nation,
And from one kingdom to another people,
21
He allowed no man to oppress or exploit them,
And, He reproved and punished kings for their sakes, saying,(B)
22
“Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”(C)
