Heritage

This is the wicked man’s portion from God—the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

For what is the allotment of God from above, or the heritage from the Almighty on high?

He surrendered His people to the sword because He was enraged by His heritage.

They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.

For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.

Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.

Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.

…a heritage to His servant Israel. His loving devotion endures forever.

I was angry with My people; I profaned My heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

…then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the land and feed you with the heritage of your father Jacob.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.

Let the priests who minister before the LORD weep between the portico and the altar, saying, “Spare Your people, O LORD, and do not make Your heritage a reproach, an object of scorn among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
