New International Version
7 The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous(A) than other peoples, for you were the fewest(B) of all peoples.(C) 8 But it was because the Lord loved(D) you and kept the oath he swore(E) to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand(F) and redeemed(G) you from the land of slavery,(H) from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God;(I) he is the faithful God,(J) keeping his covenant of love(K) to a thousand generations(L) of those who love him and keep his commandments.(M)
