⁹ For ^(A)the Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance.

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has ^(A)chosen as His own inheritance.

^16 (A)The Portion of Jacob is not like them,
For He is the Maker of all things,
And ^(B)Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
^(C)The Lord of hosts is His name.
