1 Chronicles 16:21
19 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
20 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
22 ‘Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!’
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Proclaim His salvation day after day.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
