6 Impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas: nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus CHRISTUM suum. Exaudiet illum de cælo sancto suo: in potentatibus salus dexteræ eius.

Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

7 Hi in curribus, et hi in equis: nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus.

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.
