105:7 He is the Lord our God;
he carries out judgment throughout the earth. 1
105:8 He always remembers his covenantal decree,
the promise he made 2 to a thousand generations –
105:9 the promise 3 he made to Abraham,
the promise he made by oath to Isaac!
105:10 He gave it to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as a lasting promise, 4
105:11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
as the portion of your inheritance.”
