105:6 O children 1 of Abraham, 2 God’s 3 servant,
you descendants 4 of Jacob, God’s 5 chosen ones!
105:42 Yes, 6 he remembered the sacred promise 7
he made to Abraham his servant.
105:43 When he led his people out, they rejoiced;
his chosen ones shouted with joy. 8
105:44 He handed the territory of nations over to them,
and they took possession of what other peoples had produced, 9
105:45 so that they might keep his commands
and obey 10 his laws.
Praise the Lord!
