And overturned Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;
16 Wahola abantu bakhe enkangala,
To him that led his people through the wilderness, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;
17 Owalahla phansi amakhosi amakhulu,
To him that smote great kings, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

And hath delivered us from our oppressors, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:
25 Njalo onika ukudla izidalwa zonke,
Who giveth food to all flesh, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
26 Bongani uNkulunkulu wasezulwini,
Give ye thanks unto the God of the heavens; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
