He has kept the promise he made to our ancestors, and has come to the help of his servant Israel.
God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed; at early dawn he will come to its aid.
He kept his promise to the people of Israel with loyalty and constant love for them. All people everywhere have seen the victory of our God.
The Lord says, “Israel, remember this; remember that you are my servant. I created you to be my servant, and I will never forget you.
“Israel, you are my dearest child, the one I love best. Whenever I mention your name, I think of you with love. My heart goes out to you; I will be merciful.
I appeared to them from far away. People of Israel, I have always loved you, so I continue to show you my constant love.
You will show your faithfulness and constant love to your people, the descendants of Abraham and of Jacob, as you promised our ancestors long ago.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away with empty hands.
He has remembered to show mercy to Abraham and to all his descendants forever!”
