1 Chronicles 16:7-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. In that day, David made Asaph the leader, in order to confess to the Lord with his brothers:

8. "Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Make known his endeavors among the peoples.

9. Sing to him, and sing psalms to him, and describe all his miracles.

10. Praise his holy name! Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

11. Seek the Lord and his virtue. Seek his face always.

12. Remember his miracles, which he has accomplished, his signs, and the judgments of his mouth.

13. O offspring of Israel, his servants! O sons of Jacob, his elect!

14. He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout all the earth.

15. Remember forever his covenant, the word that he instructed unto a thousand generations,

16. the covenant that he formed with Abraham, and his oath with Isaac.

17. And he appointed the same to Jacob as a precept, and to Israel as an everlasting pact,

18. saying: 'To you, I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'

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.'
