⁴ He will give us our heritage, the glory of Jacob who is dear to him. (Selah.)

⁴ And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,

² A crusher has come up before your face: keep a good look-out, let the way be watched, make yourself strong, let your power be greatly increased.

⁷ The Lord has taken an oath by the pride of Jacob, Truly I will ever keep in mind all their works.

⁸ The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.

⁹ And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.

¹⁰ And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

⁴ But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

⁵ Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

⁴ Assyria will not be our salvation; we will not go on horses; we will not again say to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you there is mercy for the child who has no father.

⁶ For you are a holy people to the Lord your God: marked out by the Lord your God to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.

⁷ The Lord did not give you his love or take you for himself because you were more in number than any other people; for you were the smallest of the nations:

⁸ But because of his love for you, and in order to keep his oath to your fathers, the Lord took you out with the strength of his hand, making you free from the prison-house and from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.

¹⁸ And that having the eyes of your heart full of light, you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth of the glory of his heritage in the saints,

²² Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

²³ And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

³⁴ Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

² You have been loved by me, says the Lord. But you say, Where was your love for us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: but Jacob was loved by me,

⁶ In that day I gave my oath to take them out of the land of Egypt into a land which I had been searching out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands:

¹⁹ But I said, How am I to put you among the children, and give you a desired land, a heritage of glory among the armies of the nations? and I said, You are to say to me, My father; and not be turned away from me.

¹⁵ And though you were turned away from, and hated, and had no helper, I will make you a pride for ever, a joy from generation to generation.

³ As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.

³ All his holy ones are at his hand; they go at his feet; they are lifted up on his wings.

¹² A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.
