4. Seek the Lord and His strength;Seek His face evermore!
5. Remember His marvelous works which He has done,His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,
6. O seed of Abraham His servant,You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
7. He is the Lord our God;His judgments are in all the earth.
8. He remembers His covenant forever,The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
9. The covenant which He made with Abraham,And His oath to Isaac,
10. And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11. Saying, “To you I will give the land of CanaanAs the allotment of your inheritance,”
12. When they were few in number,Indeed very few, and strangers in it.
13. When they went from one nation to another,From one kingdom to another people,
14. He permitted no one to do them wrong;Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,
15. Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,And do My prophets no harm.”
16. Moreover He called for a famine in the land;He destroyed all the provision of bread.
