Christian Standard Bible

The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,^(A)
the God who has been my shepherd^(B) all my life to this day,
¹⁶the angel who has redeemed me from all harm^(C)—

And may they be called by my name
and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac,^(D)
and may they grow to be numerous within the land.
