6You alone are Yahweh. You made the heavens, the highest heavens and all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them alive, and the host of heaven bows down to you.

7You are Yahweh God, who chose Abram, brought him out from Ur of the Chaldeans, and gave him the name Abraham.

8You found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite—to give it to his offspring. And you have fulfilled your words, for you are righteous.
