1 Chronicles 16:15

16:15 Remember ¹  continually his covenantal decree,

the promise he made ²  to a thousand generations –

1 Chronicles 16:34

16:34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good

and his loyal love endures. ³ 

[16:15]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text has a masculine plural imperative, addressed to the people. Some LXX mss harmonize the wording here to Ps 105:8, which has זָכַר (zakhar), the perfect third masculine singular form of the verb, “He (the Lord) remembers” (so NIV; NEB reads “He called to mind his covenant”).

[16:15]  ² tn Heb “[the] word he commanded.” The text refers here to God’s unconditional covenantal promise to Abraham and the patriarchs, as vv. 16-18 make clear.

[16:34]  ³ tn Or “is eternal.”
