- He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
- The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.
- Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
- Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,"
- When they were only a few men in number, Very few, and strangers in it.

- He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes:
- "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."
- And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
