7 Remember the days of old;

consider the years of past generations.

Ask your father, and he will tell you,

your elders, and they will teach you.

8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritanceJ

and divided the human race,z

he set the boundaries of the peoplesaa

according to the number of the people of Israel.K

9 But the Lord’s portion is his people,

Jacob, his own inheritance.ab
