The God of Jacob is not like them; he is the one who made everything, and he has chosen Israel to be his very own people. The LORD Almighty is his name.

You, LORD, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands.

My mind and my body may grow weak, but God is my strength; he is all I ever need.

Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he wishes.

The LORD is all I have, and so in him I put my hope.

The LORD says, "I have abandoned Israel; I have rejected my chosen nation. I have given the people I love into the power of their enemies.

My chosen people are like a bird attacked from all sides by hawks. Call the wild animals to come and join in the feast!

The LORD says, "People of Babylonia, you plundered my nation. You are happy and glad, going about like a cow threshing grain or like a neighing horse,

Now, if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own people. The whole earth is mine, but you will be my chosen people,

a people dedicated to me alone, and you will serve me as priests."

but Jacob's descendants he chose for himself.

Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; happy are the people he has chosen for his own!

Remember your people, whom you chose for yourself long ago, whom you brought out of slavery to be your own tribe. Remember Mount Zion, where once you lived.

He chose Jacob for himself, the people of Israel for his own.

But you are the chosen race, the King's priests, the holy nation, God's own people, chosen to proclaim the wonderful acts of God, who called you out of darkness into his own marvelous light.

The God of Jacob is not like them; he is the one who made everything, and he has chosen Israel to be his very own people. The LORD Almighty is his name.

The holy God of Israel sets us free--- his name is the LORD Almighty.
