You are the Lord God,
(A)Who chose Abram
And brought him out from (B)Ur of the Chaldees,
And (C)gave him the name Abraham.
You found (D)his heart faithful before You,
And made a covenant with him
To give him the land of the Canaanite,
Of the Hittite and the Amorite,
Of the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite—
To give it to his [a]descendants.
And You (E)have fulfilled Your [b]promise,
Because You are righteous.
