1 Chronicles 16:15-32 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

15. Remember His covenant forever —the promise He ordained for a thousand generations,

16. the covenant He made with Abraham,swore to Isaac,

17. and confirmed to Jacob as a decree,and to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

18. “I will give the land of Canaan to youas your inherited portion.”

19. When they were few in number,very few indeed, and temporary residents in Canaan

20. wandering from nation to nationand from one kingdom to another,

21. He allowed no one to oppress them;He rebuked kings on their behalf:

22. “Do not touch My anointed onesor harm My prophets.”

23. Sing to the Lord, all the earth.Proclaim His salvation from day to day.

24. Declare His glory among the nations,His wonderful works among all peoples.

25. For the Lord is great and highly praised; He is feared above all gods.

26. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

27. Splendor and majesty are before Him;strength and joy are in His place.

28. Ascribe to the Lord, families of the peoples,ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

29. Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;bring an offering and come before Him.Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness;

30. tremble before Him, all the earth.The world is firmly established;it cannot be shaken.

31. Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The Lord is King! ”

32. Let the sea and everything in it resound;let the fields and all that is in them exult.
