They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

Sie gedachten nicht an seine Hand des Tages, da er sie erlöste von den Feinden;
No se acordaron de su mano, Del día que los redimió de angustia;
No recordaron su mano poderosa ni el día en que los rescató del adversario,
Ils ne se souvinrent pas de sa puissance, Du jour où il les délivra de l'ennemi,
Essi non si erano ricordati della sua mano, Nè del giorno nel quale li aveva riscossi dal nemico.
Não se lembraram da sua mão, nem do dia em que os livrou do adversário;
他們不追念他手的能力, 和他救贖他們脫離敵人的日子;
