6 You belong to the familyof Abraham, his servant;you are his chosen ones,the descendants of Jacob.
7 The Lord is our God,bringing justiceeverywhere on earth.
8 He will never forgethis agreement or his promises,not in thousands of years.*
9 God made an eternal promise
10 to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
11 when he said, “I'll give youthe land of Canaan.”
12 At the time there wereonly a few of us,and we were homeless.
