In his right hand a fiery law.

9 Que diz de seu pai e sua mãe: Não os tenho em consideração; que não reconhece seus irmãos e ignora seus filhos. Eles observam a vossa palavra e guardam a vossa aliança;	9 Who hath said to his father, and to his mother: I do not know you; and to his brethren: I know you not: and their own children they have not known. These have kept thy word, and observed thy covenant,

21 escolheu para si as primícias da terra, porque ali estava a porção do chefe. Avança à frente do povo, cumprindo a justiça do Senhor e os seus juízos com Israel.	21 And he saw his pre-eminence, that in his portion the teacher was laid up: who was with the princes of the people, and did the justices of the Lord, and his judgment with Israel.

27 o Deus dos tempos antigos que é o teu refúgio e teu apoio os seus braços eternos, que, para te socorrer, cavalga os céus e as nuvens majestosamente. Expulsa o inimigo de diante de ti e te diz: Extermina!	27 His dwelling is above, and underneath are the everlasting arms: he shall cast out the enemy from before thee, and shall say: Be thou brought to nought.
28 Israel habita em segurança, fonte de Jacó corre, na solidão, numa terra de trigo e de vinho, o céu destila-lhe o orvalho.	28 Israel shall dwell in safety, and alone. The eye of Jacob in a land of corn and wine, and the heavens shall be misty with dew.
29 Tu és feliz, ó Israel! Quem é, como tu, povo salvo pelo Senhor, escudo que te protege, espada que te engrandece? Teus inimigos virão adular-te, mas tu pisarás por cima deles.	29 Blessed are thou, Israel: who is like to thee, O people, that art saved by the Lord? the shield of thy help, and the sword of thy glory: thy enemies shall deny thee, and thou shalt tread upon their necks.
