Thematic Bible: The people of God


Thematic Bible




If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget [her skill with the harp].



For the Lord has built up Zion;
He has appeared in His glory and brilliance;

and you said, ‘Behold, the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire; we have seen today that God speaks with man, yet he [still] lives.



“For the Lord’s portion and chosen share is His people;
Jacob (Israel) is the allotment of His inheritance.

I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the [renewed] heavens and lay the foundations of the [renewed] earth, and to say to Zion (Jerusalem), ‘You are My people.’”

You established for Yourself Your people Israel as Your people forever, and You, O Lord, have become their God.
