8“Give thanks to YHWH; call on his name; make known among the peoples his deeds. 9Sing to him, sing psalms to him; speak of all his wonders. 10Glory in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek YHWH be glad. 11Seek YHWH and his strength; seek his face continually. 12Remember his wonders that he has done, his portents and the judgments of his mouth, 13offspring of Israel his servant, sons of Jacob, his chosen ones. 14He is YHWH our Elohim; in all the earth are his judgments. 15Remember forever his covenant, the word he commanded for a thousand generations, 16which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac; 17and he established it for Jacob as a statute, for Israel as an eternal covenant, 18saying, ‘To you I will give the land of Canaan, the allotment of your inheritance,’ 19when you were few in number, very few, and resident aliens in it. 20And they went about from nation to nation, and from a kingdom to another people. 21He did not allow anyone to oppress them, and he rebuked kings on their account: 22‘Do not touch my anointed ones, and to my prophets do no harm.’
