11 Listen to the prisoners groan!
Let your mighty power save all
    who are sentenced to die.
12 Each of those nations sneered
    at you, our Lord.

    will always thank you.
We are like sheep
    with you as our shepherd,
and all generations
    will hear us praise you.

    will praise you forever;(D)
from generation to generation
    we will proclaim your praise.
