Mazmur 105:42-45

105:42 Yes, ⁵  he remembered the sacred promise ⁶ 

he made to Abraham his servant.

105:43 When he led his people out, they rejoiced;

his chosen ones shouted with joy. ⁷ 

105:44 He handed the territory of nations over to them,

and they took possession of what other peoples had produced, ⁸ 

105:45 so that they might keep his commands

and obey ⁹  his laws.

Praise the Lord!
