1 Chronicles 16:15-22

New Living Translation

¹⁵ Remember his covenant forever—
    the commitment he made to a thousand generations.
¹⁶ This is the covenant he made with Abraham
    and the oath he swore to Isaac.
¹⁷ He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,
    and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:
¹⁸ “I will give you the land of Canaan
    as your special possession.”

¹⁹ He said this when you were few in number,
    a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.
²⁰ They wandered from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another.
²¹ Yet he did not let anyone oppress them.
    He warned kings on their behalf:
²² “Do not touch my chosen people,
    and do not hurt my prophets.”
