But God chose you to be His people.
You are royal priests.
You are a holy nation.
You are a people who belong to God.

All of this is so that you can sing His praises.
He brought you out of darkness into His wonderful light.

Once you were not a people.
But now you are the people of God.

Once you had not received mercy.
But now you have received mercy.
