4. Seek ye the Lord and his strength; seek his face evermore.
5. Remember his marvelous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6. O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7. He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8. He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
9. The covenant which he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10. And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11. Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12. When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and sojourners in it;
13. And they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
14. He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15. Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.
16. And he called for a famine upon the land; he brake the whole staff of bread.
17. He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:
18. His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in chains of iron:
19. Until the time that his word came to pass; the word of the Lord tried him.
