¹⁹ I thought
    how I would set you among my children
and give you a pleasant land,
    the most beautiful heritage of all the nations.
And I thought you would call to me, “My Father,”
    and would not turn from following me.^(A)

¹⁷ O God, from my youth you have taught me,
    and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.^(A)
