The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy before you, giving the command, ‘Destroy him!’
28 Da bi nastavao Izrailj sam bezbrižno, izvor Jakovljev, u zemlji obilnoj žitom i vinom; i nebo æe njegovo kropiti rosom.
So Israel dwells securely; the fountain of Jacob lives untroubled in a land of grain and new wine, where even the heavens drip with dew.
29 Blago tebi, Izrailju! ko je kao ti, narod kojega je saèuvao Gospod, štit pomoæi tvoje, i maè slave tvoje? Neprijatelji æe se tvoji poniziti, a ti æeš gaziti visine njihove.
Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is the shield that protects you, the sword in which you boast. Your enemies will cower before you, and you shall trample their high places.”
