He remembers His covenant forever,
the promise He ordained

You will show loyalty to Jacob
and faithful love to Abraham,
as You swore to our fathers

He has helped His servant Israel,
mindful of His mercy,

They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises.

Now if you will listen to Me and carefully keep My covenant, you will be My own possession out of all the peoples, although all the earth is Mine,

When Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me. Don’t stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off,

as many as the Lord our God will call.”

Neither are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants.

On the contrary, your offspring will be traced
