For thou art an holy people
Unto the LORD thy God:
The LORD thy God hath chosen thee
To be a special people
Unto himself,
Above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
The LORD did not set his love upon you,
Nor choose you,
Because ye were more in number than any people;
For ye were the fewest of all people:
But because the LORD loved you,
And because he would keep the oath
Which he had sworn unto your fathers,
Hath the LORD brought you out
With a mighty hand,
And redeemed you
Out of the house of bondmen,
From the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Know therefore
That the LORD thy God,
He is God,
The faithful God,
Which keepeth covenant
And mercy
With them that love him
And keep his commandments
To a thousand generations;
