Psalms

Psalm 105:8–11

8He remembers His covenant forever,

the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

9the covenant He made with Abraham,

and the oath He swore to Isaac.

10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

11“I will give you the land of Canaan

as the portion of your inheritance.”
