26 and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying -- `We saw strange things to-day.'
and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give such power to men.
and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying -- `A great prophet hath risen among us,' and -- `God did look upon His people.'
And it hath been to Me for a name of joy, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing to it.
