8. His cov'nant he remember'd hath,that it may ever stand:To thousand generationsthe word he did command.
9. Which covenant he firmly madewith faithful Abraham,And unto Isaac, by his oath,he did renew the same:
10. And unto Jacob, for a law,he made it firm and sure,A covenant to Israel,which ever should endure.
11. He said, I'll give Canaan's landfor heritage to you;
12. While they were strangers there,and few, in number very few:
13. While yet they went from land to landwithout a sure abode;And while through sundry kingdoms theydid wander far abroad;
14. Yet, notwithstanding suffer'd heno man to do them wrong:Yea, for their sakes, he did reprovekings, who were great and strong.
