    you made a covenant with him
and you gave the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites,
    the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites,
        and the Girgashites to his descendants.

    because you are righteous.

    because you knew they acted arrogantly against your people.[b]
So you established your name with them,
    as it remains to this day.
