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

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

¹⁷ Again call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Again do my cities overflow from good, And Jehovah hath again comforted Zion, 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.

⁵ `And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth `is' Mine;

⁶ and ye -- ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these `are' the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.'

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

⁸ Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!

⁴ For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.

⁹ Whom I have taken hold of, from the ends of the earth, And from its near places I have called thee, And I say to thee, My servant Thou `art', I have chosen thee, and not rejected thee.

¹⁹ Not like these `is' the portion of Jacob, For He `is' former of all things, And `Israel is' the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts `is' His name.
