8. Give thanks to Yahweh; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the nations!

9. Sing to him; sing praises to him; tell of his wondrous works!

10. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those seeking Yahweh rejoice!

11. Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his face continually!

12. Remember his wonderful works that he has done, his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,

13. O offspring of Israel, his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!

14. He is Yahweh our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

15. Remember his covenant forever, the word he commanded for a thousand generations,

16. that he made with Abraham, his sworn oath to Isaac.

17. And he confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, an everlasting covenant to Israel,

18. saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the portion of your inheritance.”

19. When you were few in number, little, and sojourners were in it,

20. when they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,

21. he did not allow anyone to oppress them, and he rebuked kings on their account,

22. saying, “You must not touch my anointed nor do harm to my prophets!”
