8 He hath alway remembred his couenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,

Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:
10 And since hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,
And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
11 Saying, Vnto thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.
12 Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land,
When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:
13 And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people,
And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
14 Yet suffered he no man to doe them wrong, but reprooued Kings for their sakes, saying,
He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.

They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,

Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.
20 The King sent and loosed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him.
The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.

22 That he shoulde binde his princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wisedome.
That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.

He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land.
42 For he remembred his holy promise to Abraham his seruant,
Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
43 And he brought forth his people with ioy, and his chosen with gladnesse,
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.
44 And gaue them the lands of the heathen, and they tooke the labours of the people in possession,
And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:
45 That they might keepe his statutes, and obserue his Lawes. Prayse ye the Lord.
That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
