46 Th' ETERNAL is the living One; ‖ and blessed be my Rock; ‖ And now exalted let the God ‖ of my salvation be. ‖
47 It is the mighty God who grants ‖ revenges unto me; ‖ And it is He who doth subdue ‖ the people under me. ‖
48 He saves me from mine enemies; ‖ from my invaders thou ‖ dost also lift me, thou dost pluck ‖ me from the violent Man. ‖
49 Therefore I will give thanks unto ‖ ⟨p. 39⟩Thee, O ETERNAL God, ‖ among the Nations, and I will ‖ sing praises to thy Name. ‖
