New King James Version

1 Chronicles 16:16-25 New King James Version (NKJV)

16. The covenant which He made with Abraham,And His oath to Isaac,

17. And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18. Saying, “To you I will give the land of CanaanAs the allotment of your inheritance,”

19. When you were few in number,Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

20. When they went from one nation to another,And from one kingdom to another people,

21. He permitted no man to do them wrong;Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,

22. Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,And do My prophets no harm.”

23. Sing to the Lord, all the earth;Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

24. Declare His glory among the nations,His wonders among all peoples.

25. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised;He is also to be feared above all gods.
