1 Chronicles 16:7-36

New International Version

⁸ Give praise^(B) to the Lord, proclaim his name;
    make known among the nations^(C) what he has done.
⁹ Sing to him, sing praise^(D) to him;
    tell of all his wonderful acts.
¹⁰ Glory in his holy name;^(E)
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
¹¹ Look to the Lord and his strength;
    seek^(F) his face always.

¹² Remember^(G) the wonders^(H) he has done,
    his miracles,^(I) and the judgments he pronounced,
¹³ you his servants, the descendants of Israel,
    his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
¹⁴ He is the Lord our God;
    his judgments^(J) are in all the earth.

¹⁵ He remembers^[a](K) his covenant forever,
    the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
¹⁶ the covenant^(L) he made with Abraham,
    the oath he swore to Isaac.
¹⁷ He confirmed it to Jacob^(M) as a decree,
    to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
¹⁸ “To you I will give the land of Canaan^(N)
    as the portion you will inherit.”

¹⁹ When they were but few in number,^(O)
    few indeed, and strangers in it,
²⁰ they^[b] wandered^(P) from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another.
²¹ He allowed no one to oppress them;
    for their sake he rebuked kings:^(Q)
22 “Do not touch my anointed ones;
    do my prophets^(R) no harm.”

²³ Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
    proclaim his salvation day after day.
²⁴ Declare his glory^(S) among the nations,
    his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

²⁵ For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;^(T)
    he is to be feared^(U) above all gods.^(V)
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.^(W)
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
    strength and joy are in his dwelling place.

²⁸ Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.^(X)
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;^(Y)
    bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his^[c] holiness.^(Z)
30     Tremble^(AA) before him, all the earth!
    The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.^(AB)

³¹ Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;^(AC)
    let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!^(AD)”
³² Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;^(AE)
    let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
³³ Let the trees^(AF) of the forest sing,
    let them sing for joy before the Lord,
    for he comes to judge^(AG) the earth.

³⁴ Give thanks^(AH) to the Lord, for he is good;^(AI)
    his love endures forever.^(AJ)
35 Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior;^(AK)
    gather us and deliver us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name,
    and glory in your praise.”
³⁶ Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,^(AL)
    from everlasting to everlasting.
