12Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,

13you his servants, the descendants of Israel, his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.

14He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

15He remembers Some Septuagint manuscripts (see also Psalm 105:8); Hebrew Remember his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,

16the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.

17He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

18“To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit.”

19When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,

20they One Hebrew manuscript, Septuagint and Vulgate (see also Psalm 105:12); most Hebrew manuscripts inherit, / 19 though you are but few in number, / few indeed, and strangers in it.” / 20 They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

21He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:

22“Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”
