And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I {am} the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

To perform the mercy {promised} to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word {which} he commanded to a thousand generations.

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant {be} not with day and night, {and if} I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only {son}:

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of {his} mercy;

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

God {is} not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do {it}? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

Faithful {is} he that calleth you, who also will do {it}.

Thy faithfulness {is} unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. {unto...: Heb. to generation and generation} {abideth: Heb. standeth}

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed {each other}.

He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of {his} mercy;

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD {endureth} for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

To perform the mercy {promised} to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

But as for me, my prayer {is} unto thee, O LORD, {in} an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, {which} may preserve him.

For the law was given by Moses, {but} grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

For he remembered his holy promise, {and} Abraham his servant.

And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous {are} thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true {are} thy ways, thou King of saints. {saints: or, nations, or, ages}

Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: {if: Heb. because}

I will also praise thee with the psaltery, {even} thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. {the psaltery: Heb. the instrument of psaltery}

As concerning the gospel, {they are} enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, {they are} beloved for the fathers' sakes.

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises {made} unto the fathers:

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein {is}: which keepeth truth for ever:

Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, {and} for thy truth's sake.

For Israel {hath} not {been} forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:

And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

And he said, Blessed {be} the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I {being} in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.

I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. {I am not...: Heb. I am less than all}

[Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. {Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Ethan the Ezrahite, to give instruction} {to all...: Heb. to generation and generation}

For the LORD {is} good; his mercy {is} everlasting; and his truth {endureth} to all generations. {to all...: Heb. to generation and generation}
