הֵ֣ן גּ֤וֹי לֹֽא־תֵדַע֙ תִּקְרָ֔א וְג֥וֹי לֹֽא־יְדָע֖וּךָ אֵלֶ֣יךָ יָר֑וּצוּ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ וְלִקְד֥וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל כִּ֥י פֵאֲרָֽךְ׃ (ס)
Ein Volk, das du nicht kennst, wirst du herbeirufen, und ein Volk, das dich nicht kannte, wird auf deinen Ruf zu dir eilen, um des Herrn, deines Gottes, willen und wegen des Heiligen Israels, denn er hat dich verherrlicht.
Psalms
Deliver me from the contentions of the people [(that I not be punished for miscarriage of justice and exploitation of Jews)]. Make me the head of nations [(where there is no such liability)]; let a people unknown to me serve me.
Psalms
At ear's report [i.e., by word of my emissaries alone] shall they submit to me; the sons of strangers shall prevaricate to me [in fear].
II Samuel
You rescued me from the antagonists among my people. You preserved me to be a leader of nations, A people that I did not [even] know serves me.
