1 Chronicles 16:7-16

7 That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise to the LORD in this manner:

8 Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

9 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.

10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

11 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.

12 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,

13 you his servants, the descendants of Israel, his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.

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

15 He remembers^[a] his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,

16 the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
