28 A SONG OF THE REDEEMING SPIRIT
| |||
Refrain: | The righteous shall sing hymns* to your holy name, O God. | ||
1 |
A holy people and a blameless race* Wisdom delivered from a nation of oppressors. | ||
2 |
She entered a soul of a servant of God* and withstood dread rulers with wonders and signs. | ||
3 |
She gave to holy people the reward of their labours;* she guided them along a marvellous way. | ||
4 |
She became a shelter to them by day* and a starry flame through the night. | ||
5 |
She brought them over the Sea of Reeds* and led them through deep waters. | ||
6 |
The righteous sang hymns to your holy name, O God,* and praised with one accord your defending hand. | ||
7 |
For Wisdom opened the mouths of those who were mute* and made the tongues of infants speak clearly. | ||
| |||
The righteous shall sing hymns* to your holy name, O God. |
