As an inheritance unto Israel his servant; for to eternity endureth his kindness;
23 Aliyetukumbuka katika unyonge wetu,
Who hath in our low estate remembered us; for to eternity endureth his kindness;
24 Alituweka huru toka adui zetu,
And hath freed us from our assailants; for to eternity endureth his kindness;
25 Ambaye humpa chakula kila kiumbe.
Who giveth food unto all flesh; for to eternity endureth his kindness.
26 Mshukuruni Mungu wa mbinguni,
O give thanks unto the God of the heavens; for to eternity endureth his kindness.
