15. God remembers his covenant forever,the word he commanded to a thousand generations,
16. which he made with Abraham,the solemn pledge he swore to Isaac.
17. God set it up as binding law for Jacob,as an eternal covenant for Israel,
18. promising, "I hereby give you the land of Canaanas your allotted inheritance."
19. When they were few in number—insignificant, just immigrants—
20. wandering from nation to nation,from one kingdom to the next,
21. God didn’t let anyone oppress them.God punished kings for their sake:
22. "Don’t touch my anointed ones;don’t harm my prophets!"
23. Sing to the Lord, all the earth!Share the news of his saving work every single day!
24. Declare God’s glory among the nations;declare his wondrous works among all people
25. because the Lord is great and so worthy of praise.He is awesome beyond all other gods
26. because all the gods of the nations are just idols,but it is the Lord who created heaven!
27. Greatness and grandeur are in front of him;strength and joy are in his place.
