CLV(i)
26 then I prayed to Yahweh and said:My Lord Yahweh, do not bring ruin on Your people and Your allotment, whom You ransomed by Your greatness, whom You brought forth from Egypt by Your steadfast hand.
27 Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Do not face against the obstinancy of this people, against their wickedness and their sin,
28 lest the people of the country whence You brought us forth should say:Because Yahweh was unable to bring them into the land about which He had spoken to them, and because of His hatred of them He brought them forth to put them to death in the wilderness.
29 Yet they are Your people and Your allotment whom You brought forth from Egypt by Your great vigor and by Your outstretched arm.
