⁹ and saith, `If, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, O my Lord, let my Lord, I pray Thee, go in our midst (for it `is' a stiff-necked people), and thou hast forgiven our iniquity and our sin, and hast inherited us.'

¹² O the happiness of the nation whose God `is' Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.

⁹ For Jehovah's portion `is' His people, Jacob `is' the line of His inheritance.

⁹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `I have seen this people, and lo, it `is' a stiff-necked people;

¹² And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.

¹⁶ Not like these `is' the Portion of Jacob, For framer of all things `is' He, And Israel `is' the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts `is' His name.

¹⁴ For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.

⁶² And delivereth up to the sword His people, And with His inheritance shewed Himself angry.

⁹ Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!

²⁰ teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age.'
