New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
19When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it, 20And they wandered from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people, 21He allowed no one to oppress them, And He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, 22'Do not touch My anointed ones, And do not harm My prophets.' 23Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day. 24Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. 25For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods. 26For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. 27Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place. 28Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 29Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the Lord in holy attire. 30Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. 31 Let the heavens be joyful, and the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, 'The Lord reigns.'King James Version
Chapter 16
19When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. 20And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; 21He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, 22Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 23Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. 24Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. 25For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. 26For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. 27Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. 28Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. 29Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. 30Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. 31Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 16
19He said this when you were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan. 20They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. 21Yet 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.'
23Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
24Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.
25Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods.
26The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens!
27Honor and majesty surround him; strength and joy fill his dwelling.
28O nations of the world, recognize the Lord, recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong.
29Give to the Lord the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come into his presence. Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor.
30Let all the earth tremble before him. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.
