1 Chronicles 16:19-31 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

19. At that time, they were small in number, they were few and were settlers there.

20. And they passed through, from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.

21. He did not permit anyone to falsely accuse them. Instead, he reproved kings on their behalf:

22. 'Do not touch my Christ. And do not malign my prophets.'

23. Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Announce his salvation, from day to day.

24. Describe his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all the peoples.

25. For the Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy. And he is terrible, above all gods.

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

27. Confession and magnificence are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.

28. Bring to the Lord, O families of the peoples, bring to the Lord glory and dominion.

29. Give glory to the Lord, to his name. Lift up sacrifice, and approach before his sight. And adore the Lord in holy attire.

30. Let all the earth be moved before his face. For he founded the globe immoveable.

31. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult. And let them say among the nations, 'The Lord has reigned.'
