1 Chronicles 16:18-30 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

18. Saying, “To you I give the land of Kena‛an, The portion of your inheritance,”

19. When you were but few in number, Few indeed, and sojourners in it.

20. And they went up and down, From one nation to another, And from one reign to another people.

21. He allowed no one to oppress them, And He reproved sovereigns for their sakes, saying:

22. “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no evil.”

23. Sing to יהוה, all the earth; Proclaim His deliverance from day to day.

24. Declare His esteem among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

25. For great is יהוה and greatly to be praised; And He is to be feared above all mighty ones.

26. For all the mighty ones of the peoples are matters of naught, But יהוה made the heavens.

27. Excellency and splendour are before Him, Strength and gladness are in His place.

28. Ascribe to יהוה, O clans of the peoples, Ascribe to יהוה esteem and strength.

29. Ascribe to יהוה the esteem of His Name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Bow yourself to יהוה In the splendour of set-apartness!

30. Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, immovable.
