12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.
Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
