Alma 31:17

But thou art the same yesterday, today, and forever;

and thou hast elected us that we shall be saved,

whilst all around us are elected to be cast by thy wrath down to hell;

for the which holiness, O God, we thank thee;

and we also thank thee that thou hast elected us,

which doth lead their hearts to wander far from thee, our God.

We thank thee, O God, for we are a chosen people unto thee,

while others shall perish.
