13. You sons of Israel, his servants,offspring of Jacob, the chosen ones!
14. The Lord is our God;who rules the whole earth.
15. He remembers forever his covenantthe pact imposed for a thousand generations—
16. Which was made with Abraham,confirmed by oath to Isaac,
17. And ratified as binding for Jacob,an everlasting covenant for Israel:
18. “To you will I give the land of Canaan,your own allotted heritage.”
19. When they were few in number,a handful, and strangers there,
20. Wandering from nation to nation,from one kingdom to another,
21. He let no one oppress them;for their sake he rebuked kings:
22. “Do not touch my anointed,to my prophets do no harm.”
23. Sing to the Lord, all the earth,announce his salvation, day after day.
24. Tell his glory among the nations;among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.
