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.
25. The Lord is great; he should be praised.He should be respected more than all the gods.
26. All the gods of the nations are only idols,but the Lord made the skies.
27. He has glory and majesty;he has power and joy in his Temple.
28. Praise the Lord, all nations on earth.Praise the Lord’s glory and power;
