That He has made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10 And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
And establishes it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel—a perpetual covenant,
11 saying To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
Saying, “I give the land of Canaan to you, The portion of your inheritance,”

To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And he makes his elderly wise.

That they may observe His statutes, And may keep His laws. Praise YAH!
