Did you not, our God, (D)drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it forever to the descendants of (E)Abraham your friend? And they have lived in it and have built for you in it a sanctuary for your name, saying, (F)‘If disaster comes upon us, the sword, judgment,[a] or pestilence, or famine, (G)we will stand before this house and before you—(H)for your name is in this house—and cry out to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’
