14 The Lord is our God;who rules the whole earth.
15 He remembers forever his covenantthe pact imposed for a thousand generations—
16 Which was made with Abraham,confirmed by oath to Isaac,
17 And ratified as binding for Jacob,an everlasting covenant for Israel:
18 “To you will I give the land of Canaan,your own allotted heritage.”
19 When they were few in number,a handful, and strangers there,
20 Wandering from nation to nation,from one kingdom to another,
