⁸ He ^(L)remembers his covenant for ever,
    the word that he commanded, for ^(M)a thousand generations,
^9 (N)the covenant that he made with Abraham,
    his ^(O)sworn promise to Isaac,
¹⁰ which he confirmed to ^(P)Jacob as a statute,
    to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
¹¹ saying, ^(Q)“To you I will give the land of Canaan
