19 O Yahweh, my (A)strength and my strong defense,
And my (B)refuge in the day of distress,
To You the (C)nations will come
From the ends of the earth and say,
“Our fathers have inherited nothing but (D)lies,
Futility and [a](E)things of no profit.”

This time I will (G)make them know
My [b]power and My might;
And they shall (H)know that My name is Yahweh.”
