17 I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring ^tas the stars of heaven and ^uas the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess ^vthe gate of his¹ enemies,

8 ^mAnd your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, ⁿtoo many to be numbered or counted for multitude.

9 O Lord God, ⁿlet your word to David my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people as numerous ^oas the dust of the earth.
