The king's power loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared equity; thou hast executed judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

When Israel came out of Egypt, and the house of Jacob from among that strange people,

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

and appointed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament;

Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.

how he swore unto the LORD, and vowed a vow unto the almighty one of Jacob,

until I find out a place for the temple of the LORD, a habitation for the mighty one of Jacob."

For why? The LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his own possession.

Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, and whose hope is in the LORD his God,

He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and ordinances unto Israel.
