8 He is mindful of his covenant forever,

9 the covenant that he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,(A)
10 which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,(B)
11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
as your portion for an inheritance.”(C)
12 When they were few in number,
of little account and strangers in it,(D)

he rebuked kings on their account,(E)
15 saying, “Do not touch my anointed ones;
do my prophets no harm.”
