⁶ “For you are a ^[a]holy people to the Lord your God; ^(A)the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. ⁷ The Lord did not set His ^(B)love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were ^(C)the least of all peoples; ⁸ but ^(D)because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep ^(E)the oath which He swore to your fathers, ^(F)the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of ^[b]bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

⁶ I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make ^(A)nations of you, and ^(B)kings shall come from you. ⁷ And I will ^(C)establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, ^(D)to be God to you and ^(E)your descendants after you. ⁸ Also ^(F)I give to you and your descendants after you the land ^(G)in^[a] which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and ^(H)I will be their God.”

²³ And who is like Your people, like Israel, ^(A)the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—before ^(B)Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods? ²⁴ For ^(C)You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; ^(D)and You, Lord, have become their God.
