God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead nye tɔnye, Manase hã tɔnyee; nye gakukue nye Efraim, eye Yuda nye nye fiatikplɔ.
Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.

Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?

Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?

Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.

Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
