1 Chronicles 16:10-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
10Boast in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be joyful. 11Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually. 12Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth, 13 You descendants of Israel His servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones! 14He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth. 15Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations, 16 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac. 17He also confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant, 18Saying, 'To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your inheritance.' 19When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it, 20And they wandered from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people, 21He allowed no one to oppress them, And He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, 22'Do not touch My anointed ones, And do not harm My prophets.' 23Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day. 24Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. 25For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods. 26For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. 27Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place. 28Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.King James Version
Chapter 16
10Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 11Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. 12Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 13O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 14He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 15Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; 16Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; 17And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 18Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; 19When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. 20And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; 21He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, 22Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 23Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. 24Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. 25For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. 26For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 27Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. 28Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 16
10Boast in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. 11Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. 12Remember the wondrous works he has done, his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,
13you offspring of Israel his servant, Jacob's descendants--his chosen ones.
14He is the Lord our God; his judgments govern the whole earth.
15Remember his covenant forever -- the promise he ordained for a thousand generations,
16the covenant he made with Abraham, swore to Isaac,
17and confirmed to Jacob as a decree, and to Israel as a permanent covenant:
18"I will give the land of Canaan to you as your inherited portion."
19When they were few in number, very few indeed, and resident aliens in Canaan
20wandering from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another,
21he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their behalf:
22"Do not touch my anointed ones or harm my prophets."
23Let the whole earth sing to the Lord. Proclaim his salvation from day to day.
24Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all peoples.
25For the Lord is great and highly praised; he is feared above all gods.
26For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
27Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place.
28Ascribe to the Lord, families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
New Living Translation
Chapter 16
10Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the Lord. 11Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him. 12Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given, 13you children of his servant Israel, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14He is the Lord our God. His justice is seen throughout the land.
15Remember his covenant forever — the commitment he made to a thousand generations.
16This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.
17He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:
18'I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.'
19He said this when you were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.
20They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
21Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf:
22'Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.'
23Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
24Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.
25Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods.
26The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens!
27Honor and majesty surround him; strength and joy fill his dwelling.

22Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.'
23Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day.
