Dutch 1939 (De Heilige Schrift, Petrus Canisiusvertaling, 1939)
Zie, zoals een leeuw uit het kreupelhout van de Jordaan Naar de altijd groene weide schiet: Zo jaag Ik het plotseling daaruit weg, En stel er over aan, wien Ik wil. Want wie is Mij gelijk, Wie durft Mij rekenschap vragen; En wie is de herder, Die Mij kan weerstaan?
