17. He made it a law for the people of Jacob;he made it an agreement with Israel to last forever.
18. He said, “I will give the land of Canaan to you,to belong to you.”
19. Then God’s people were few in number,and they were strangers in the land.
20. They went from one nation to another,from one kingdom to another.
21. But he did not let anyone hurt them;he warned kings not to harm them.
22. He said, “Don’t touch my chosen people,and don’t harm my prophets.”
23. Sing to the Lord, all the earth.Every day tell how he saves us.
24. Tell the nations about his glory;tell all peoples the miracles he does.
