That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10 and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during,
11 saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;"
Saying, 'To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'
12 when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
13 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.

Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.
20 The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions;
He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
22 to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.

33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number,
He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,
35 ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground.
And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.
And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
37 And he brought them out with silver and gold, and there was no one among their tribes who stumbled.
And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.

For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
43 He brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with singing.
And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
44 He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
45 that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD.
That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
