The phrase so that introduces the result of what God “has said” as recorded in the previous verse ([13:5](../13/05.md)).

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

λέγειν

˓to_be˒_saying

The author quotes from an important text, the Old Testament scriptures. He does not introduce the words as a quotation but instead introduces them as something that the audience says, either to God or to other people. However, the audience would have understood that these were words from the Old Testament, specifically from [Psalm 118:6](../../psa/118/006.md). If your readers would not know that the quotation is from the Old Testament, you could include a footnote or use some other form to identify it. Alternate translation: [to speak these words from the Scriptures:]
