11. Pursue the Lord and his strength;seek his face always!
12. Remember the wondrous works he has done,all his marvelous works,and the justice he declared—
13. you who are the offspring of Israel, his servant,and the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14. The Lord—he is our God.His justice is everywhere throughout the whole world.
15. God remembers his covenant forever,the word he commanded to a thousand generations,
16. which he made with Abraham,the solemn pledge he swore to Isaac.
17. God set it up as binding law for Jacob,as an eternal covenant for Israel,
18. promising, "I hereby give you the land of Canaanas your allotted inheritance."
19. When they were few in number—insignificant, just immigrants—
20. wandering from nation to nation,from one kingdom to the next,
21. God didn’t let anyone oppress them.God punished kings for their sake:
22. "Don’t touch my anointed ones;don’t harm my prophets!"
23. Sing to the Lord, all the earth!Share the news of his saving work every single day!
