I destroyed them all with the authority of the LORD.

|
|
|
he has given me victory.

The strong right arm of the LORD has done glorious things!

|
|
to tell what the LORD has done.

|
|
|
|
but he did not let me die.
|

|
|
and I will go in and thank the LORD.
|

|
|
and the godly enter there.

and giving me victory!

and it is wonderful to see.
