6 ^aYou alone are the Lord;
^bYou have made heaven,
^cThe heaven of heavens, with ^dall their host,
The earth and everything on it,
The seas and all that is in them,
And You ^epreserve them all.
The host of heaven worships You. ‡

7 “You are the Lord God,
Who chose ^aAbram,
And brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans,
And gave him the name ^bAbraham; ‡

8 You found his heart ^afaithful before You,
And made a ^bcovenant with him
To give the land of the Canaanites,
The Hittites, the Amorites,
The Perizzites, the Jebusites,
And the Girgashites—
To give it to his descendants.
You ^chave performed Your words,
For You are righteous. ‡
