you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,

his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.

his judgments are in all the earth.

He remembers his covenant forever,

the promise he made, for a thousand generations,

the covenant he made with Abraham,

the oath he swore to Isaac.

10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

11 “To you I will give the land of Canaan

as the portion you will inherit.”

12 When they were but few in number,

few indeed, and strangers in it,

O offspring of Abraham, his servant,

children of Jacob, his chosen ones!

He is the Lord our God;

his judgments are in all the earth.

the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,

the covenant that he made with Abraham,

of little account, and sojourners in it,

the commitment he made to a thousand generations.

This is the covenant he made with Abraham

and the oath he swore to Isaac.

10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,

and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:

11 “I will give you the land of Canaan

as your special possession.”

a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

The covenant which He made with Abraham,

And His oath to Isaac,

10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,

To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

As the allotment of your inheritance,”

12 When they were few in number,

Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

You are descendants of his servant Abraham,

the children of Jacob, his chosen people.

He will keep his agreement forever;

he will keep his promises always.

He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham

and the promise he made to Isaac.

10 He made it a law for the people of Jacob;

he made it an agreement with Israel to last forever.

and it will belong to you.”

12 Then God’s people were few in number.

They were strangers in the land.

The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

The covenant which he made with Abraham,

you descendants of his servant Abraham, 

you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.

as an everlasting promise to Israel, 

11 by saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan. 

It is your share of the inheritance.” 

12 While the people of Israel were few in number, 

a small group of foreigners living in that land,

you offspring of Abraham His servant,

Jacob’s descendants—His chosen ones.

the promise He ordained

for a thousand generations —

swore to Isaac,

and to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

11 “I will give the land of Canaan to you

as your inherited portion.”

O offspring of his servant Abraham,

children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

He is the Lord our God;

his judgments are in all the earth.

He is mindful of his covenant forever,

of the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,

the covenant that he made with Abraham,

his sworn promise to Isaac,

10 which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

as your portion for an inheritance.”

you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.

He is Yahweh our God;

his judgments are in all the earth.

He remembers his covenant forever,

the word that he commanded

for a thousand generations,

that he made with Abraham,

and by his oath swore to Isaac.

10 He then confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

as the allotment that is your inheritance.”

12 When they were few in number—

a trifle—and were sojourners in it,

Remember what he has done, you children of his servant Abraham.

Remember it, you people of Jacob, God’s chosen ones.

He is the Lord our God.

He judges the whole earth.

He will keep his covenant forever.

He will keep his promise for all time to come.

He will keep the covenant he made with Abraham.

He will keep the oath he took when he made his promise to Isaac.

10 He made it stand as a law for Jacob.

He made it stand as a covenant for Israel. It will last forever.

11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan.

It will belong to you.”

12 At first there weren’t very many of God’s people.

There were only a few. And they were strangers in the land.

Psalm 105:6–12 — New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (NASB95)

O seed of Abraham, His servant,

O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

He is the Lord our God;

His judgments are in all the earth.

He has remembered His covenant forever,

The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

The covenant which He made with Abraham,

And His oath to Isaac.

10 Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,

To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

As the portion of your inheritance,”

12 When they were only a few men in number,

Very few, and strangers in it.
