⁵⁷ Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words.

²⁴ The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

⁵ The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

⁵ I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

¹⁶ The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

¹¹⁵ Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

²⁴ And the people said unto Joshua, The Lord our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

²⁵ So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

²⁶ And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the Lord.

²⁷ And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.

²¹ And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the Lord.

¹⁸ And the Lord drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the Lord; for he is our God.
