28ThenG2532 tookG1209 heG846 himG846 upG1209 inG1519 hisG846 armsG3588G43, andG2532 blessedG2127 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 saidG3004,

30ForG3754 mineG1473 eyesG3588G3788 have seenG3708 thyG4771 salvationG4992,

31WhichG3739 thou hast preparedG2090 beforeG2596 the faceG4383 of allG3956 peopleG3588G2992;

32A lightG5457 toG1519 lightenG602 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the gloryG1391 ofG2992 thyG4771 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.
