4He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.

5He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever.

6He has shown his people the power of his works, giving them the lands of other nations.

7The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy.

8They are established for ever and ever, enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
