1 Chronicles 16:7-36

Modern English Version

⁸ Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name;
    make known His deeds among the peoples.
⁹ Sing to Him, sing praise to Him,
    recount all His wonders.
¹⁰ Glory in His holy name;
    let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
¹¹ Seek the Lord and His strength;
    seek His face continually.

¹² Remember His wonders which He has done,
    His wonders and the judgments of His mouth,
¹³ O seed of Israel, His servant,
    O sons of Jacob, His chosen.
¹⁴ He is the Lord our God;
    His judgments are in all the earth.

¹⁵ Remember His covenant forever,
    the word He commanded for a thousand generations,
¹⁶ that He made with Abraham,
    even His oath to Isaac.
¹⁷ He confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
    to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
¹⁸ saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
    as the portion of your inheritance.”

¹⁹ When you were few in number,
    few indeed, and strangers there,
²⁰ when they wandered from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another,
²¹ He allowed no man to oppress them;
    He rebuked kings on their account,
²² saying, “Do not touch My anointed,
    and do My prophets no harm.”

²³ Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
    Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
²⁴ Declare His glory among the nations,
    His wonders among all the peoples.

²⁵ For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.
    He is to be feared above all gods.
²⁶ For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.
²⁷ Honor and majesty are before Him;
    strength and joy are in His place.
²⁸ Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
    give to the Lord glory and strength.
²⁹ Give to the Lord the glory due His name;
    bring an offering and come before Him,
bow down to the Lord in holy array.
³⁰     Tremble before Him, all the earth.
    The world also is firmly established; it shall not be moved.

³¹ Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad.
    Let them say among the nations, “The Lord is King.”
³² Let the sea roar, and all its fullness.
    Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.
³³ Then the trees of the forest will ring out before the Lord,
    for He is coming to judge the earth.

³⁴ Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
    for His mercy endures forever.
³⁵ Now say, “Save us, O God of our salvation,
    and gather us and deliver us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to Your holy name,
    to glory in Your praise.
³⁶ Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.”
