18 Thou hast triumphing gloriously. Ascended up [to dwell] on high, And conquering in triumph led Captive [even our] Captivity. Thou hast received gifts in Man, [And that] for them that did rebel; That as their reconciled God Among them thou [in love] mightest dwell.
18 Thou hast triumphing gloriously. Ascended up [to dwell] on high, And conquering in triumph led Captive [even our] Captivity. Thou hast received gifts in Man, [And that] for them that did rebel; That as their reconciled God Among them thou [in love] might'st dwell.
19 Blest be the Lord, who with his gifts Of mercy doth us [daily] load; Even he who ever was and is Of our defence [and help] the God.
20 Our God is he that is the God Of all [health and] salvation; The issues and defence from death Belong to [none but] him alone.
21 But God shall surely wound the head Of all his [hardened] enemies, Their hairy scalp, who shall go on In their [beloved] iniquities.
