"ADONAI will establish you as a people separated out for himself, as he has sworn to you - if you will observe the mitzvot of ADONAI your God and follow his ways.

Then all the peoples on earth will see that ADONAI's name, his presence, is with you; so that they will be afraid of you.

but ADONAI's share was his own people, Ya'akov his allotted heritage.

"He found his people in desert country, in a howling, wasted wilderness. He protected him and cared for him, guarded him like the pupil of his eye,

like an eagle that stirs up her nest, hovers over her young, spreads out her wings, takes them and carries them as she flies.

"ADONAI alone led his people; no alien god was with him.

I will be a father for him, and he will be a son for me. If he does something wrong, I will punish him with a rod and blows, just as everyone gets punished;

nevertheless, my grace will not leave him, as I took it away from Sha'ul, whom I removed from before you.

Who can be compared with your people, with Isra'el? What other nation on earth did God set out to redeem and make into a people for himself? You made yourself a reputation by doing for your land things that even for you are great and terrifying, for the sake of your people whom you redeemed for yourself from Egypt and from other nations and from their gods.

You set up your people for yourself as your people forever; and you, ADONAI, became their God.

and said, "ADONAI, God of Isra'el, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below. You keep covenant with your servants and show them grace, provided they live in your presence with all their heart.

You have kept your promise to your servant David, my father; you spoke with your mouth and fulfilled it with your hand; so it is today.

as he said, "Blessed be ADONAI, the God of Isra'el, who spoke to my father David with his mouth and fulfilled his promise with his hand. He said,

'Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I chose no city from any of the tribes of Isra'el to build a house, so that my name might be there; nor did I choose anyone to be the leader of my people Isra'el.

But now I have chosen Yerushalayim, so that my name can be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Isra'el.'

It was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of ADONAI the God of Isra'el;

but ADONAI said to David my father, 'Although it was in your heart to build a house for my name, and you did well that it was in your heart,

nevertheless you will not build the house. Rather, you will father a son, and it will be he who will build the house for my name.'

Now ADONAI has fulfilled this spoken word of his; for I have succeeded my father and sit on the throne of Isra'el, as ADONAI promised; and I have built the house for the name of ADONAI the God of Isra'el.

And there I have placed the ark containing the covenant of ADONAI, which he made with the people of Isra'el."
