Which he confirmed to Jacob for a decree, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant.

12 Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land,
When they were yet few in number, Very few, and strangers in the land;
13 And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people,
When they went from nation to nation, 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 oppress them; Yea, he rebuked kings for their sakes.

Until his prediction came to pass, And the word of the LORD proved him.
20 The King sent and loosed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him.
Then the king sent, and loosed him; The ruler of nations, and set him free;

He made him governor of his house, And lord of all his possessions;
22 That he shoulde binde his princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wisedome.
To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his counsellors wisdom.

And he led 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,

That they might observe his statutes, And obey his laws. Praise ye the LORD!
