1 Chronicles 16:22

Protection and safetyProphecy

20 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

21 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

‘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.

24 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.
