Thy bars shall be iron and brass, and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

There is none like God, O Jeshurun, who rides upon the heavens for thy help, and in his excellency on the skies.

The eternal God is thy dwelling-place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy from before thee, and said, Destroy.
28 Ale Israel nɔa anyi dedie; le anyigba si dzi bli kple wain bɔ ɖo, eye tsi dzana tso dziƒo ɖo.
And Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of grain and new wine. Yea, his heavens drop down dew.

Happy are thou, O Israel. Who is like thee, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of thy help, and the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves to thee, and thou shall tread upon their high places.
