O offspring of (A)Abraham, his servant,
    children of Jacob, his (B)chosen ones!

He is the Lord our God;
    his (C)judgments are in all the earth.
He (D)remembers his covenant forever,
    the word that he commanded, for (E)a thousand generations,
(F)the covenant that he made with Abraham,
    his (G)sworn promise to Isaac,
10 which he confirmed to (H)Jacob as a statute,
    to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

19 God said, “No, but (A)Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name (B)Isaac.[a] I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.

  1. Genesis 17:19 Isaac means he laughs

16 Now (A)the promises were made (B)to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, (C)“And to your offspring,” who is Christ. 17 This is what I mean: the law, which came (D)430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as (E)to make the promise void.

11 (A)The Lord swore to David a sure oath
    (B)from which he will not turn back:
(C)“One of the sons of your body[a]
    I will set on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant
    and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
    shall (D)sit on your throne.”

13 For the Lord has (E)chosen Zion;
    he has (F)desired it for his dwelling place:
14 “This is my (G)resting place forever;
    here I will (H)dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly (I)bless her provisions;
    I will (J)satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Her (K)priests I will clothe with salvation,
    and her (L)saints will shout for joy.
17 There I will make (M)a horn to sprout for David;
    I have prepared (N)a lamp for (O)my anointed.
