42They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.
43Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
43 Saaya din ay n'i kar, Ay n'i te sanda laabu bulungu cine, Ay n'i taamu-taamu sanda fondo gaa potor-potor cine, Ay n'i mumuru mo.
43Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.

46The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.
47Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
47 Rabbi ya fundikooni no! W'ay tondo sifa! Wa Irikoy beerandi, ay faaba tondo nooya!
47Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
