All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished, and that all the Gentiles may hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
The lion is come up out of his den, and the robber of nations hath roused himself: he is come forth out of his place to make thy land desolate. Thy cities shall be laid waste, remaining without an inhabitant.
A violent wind came on a sudden from the side of the desert, and shook the four corners of the house. And it fell upon thy children; and they are dead. And I alone have escaped to fell thee.
Lying down he hath slept as a lion, and as a lioness, whom none shall dare to rouse. He that blesseth thee shall also himself be blessed. He that curseth thee shall be reckoned accursed.
Behold, the people shall rise up as a lioness: and shall lift itself up as a lion. It shall not lie down till it devour the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
