The eternal God {is thy} refuge, and underneath {are} the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy {them}.

Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob {shall be} upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.

Happy {art} thou, O Israel: who {is} like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who {is} the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places. {found...: or, subdued}
