27
from all the peoples that have multiplied you acquired for yourself one people, and to this people that you desired you gave the Law celebrated by all.
25
and from all the ocean's depths you filled for yourself one river, and from all cities that have been built you dedicated for yourself Zion,
26
and from all the created birds you named for yourself one dove, and from all the flocks that have been made you provided for yourself one sheep,
27
from all the peoples that have multiplied you acquired for yourself one people, and to this people that you desired you gave the Law celebrated by all.
28
Now, Lord, why did you give the one to the many? Why dishonor the one root above all the rest, and scatter your only one among the many?
29
Those who have denied your promises have trampled those who believed in your covenants!
