Med stor barmhjertighet ble folket ledet fram. Først befridd, så mot et nytt hjem. Du med Din styrke, Du leder dem dit hvor Du selv bor, de skulle få det så fint. Ryktene går – høvdingene skjelver av skrekk. Mektige menn ville få Ditt folk vekk. Det skjelves i Edom og Filisterland. Moabs menn prøver å holde stand. Men alle i Kanaan lammes og frykter. Din styrke har satt i gang voldsomme rykter. For Ditt folk er sannelig kommet over, folket Ditt ser at Du holder hva du lover.
