The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Et non derelinquet Dominus populum suum propter nomen suum magnum : quia juravit Dominus facere vos sibi populum.
Septuagint (Swete): ὅτι οὐκ ἀπώσεται Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ τὸ μέγα, ὅτι ἐπιεικῶς Κύριος προσελάβετο ὑμᾶς αὑτῷ εἰς λαόν.
Hebrew (WLC): כִּ֠י לֹֽא יִטֹּ֤שׁ יְהוָה֙ אֶת עַמּ֔וֹ בַּעֲב֖וּר שְׁמ֣וֹ הַגָּד֑וֹל כִּ֚י הוֹאִ֣יל יְהוָ֔ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת אֶתְכֶ֛ם ל֖וֹ לְעָֽם

Haydock's commentary

Sake. This motive often proved the salvation of Israel, Exodus xxxii. 12. The Scriptures wholly tend to impress upon our minds, a sense of our own weakness, and of God's infinite glory and perfection. (Calmet)

We may all say, "Our hope to rise is all from Thee

our ruin's all our own." (Austin.[St. Augustine?])
