4For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession. (LXX 134:4; Rahlfs 134:4)
כִּֽי־יַעֲקֹ֗ב בָּחַ֣ר ל֣וֹ יָ֑הּ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל לִסְגֻלָּתֽוֹ׃

6Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps. (LXX 134:6; Rahlfs 134:6)
כֹּ֤ל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵ֥ץ יְהוָ֗ה עָ֫שָׂ֥ה בַּשָּׁמַ֥יִם וּבָאָ֑רֶץ בַּ֝יַּמִּ֗ים וְכָל־תְּהוֹמֽוֹת׃
