Deuteronomy 26:15-19 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

15. Our Lord, look down from your temple in heaven and bless your people Israel. You promised our ancestors that you would give us this land rich with milk and honey, and you have kept your promise.

16. Today the Lord your God has commanded you to obey these laws and teachings with all your heart and soul.

17. In response, you have agreed that the Lord will be your God, that you will obey all his laws and teachings, and that you will listen when he speaks to you.

18. Since you have agreed to obey the Lord, he has agreed that you will be his people and that you will belong to him, just as he promised.

19. The Lord created all nations, but he will make you more famous than any of them, and you will receive more praise and honour. You will belong only to the Lord your God, just as he promised.
