The Lord will bless his people

51 ‘Listen to me,
    you people who want to do what is right.
You people who want to serve the Lord,
    listen to me!
Think about the rock that you are a part of.[a]
    Think about the ground that they dug you out from.
You all started from your ancestor Abraham,
    and his wife Sarah.
When I first spoke to Abraham,
    he had no children.
But I blessed him,
    so that he had many descendants.’
