9  But the Lord’s portion is his people,

Jacob his allotted heritage.

9  Oh, save your people and bless ^zyour heritage!

^aBe their shepherd and ^bcarry them forever.

12  ^xBlessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,

the people whom he has ^ychosen as his heritage!

62  He ^hgave his people over to the sword

and ⁱvented his wrath on his heritage.

14  ^mFor the Lord will not forsake his ⁿpeople;

he will not abandon his ⁿheritage;

16  Not like these is he who is ⁱthe portion of Jacob,

for he is the one who formed all things,

^jand Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;

^kthe Lord of hosts is his name.
