Alma 26:36
1830 Edition
Now if this is boasting, even so will I boast; for this is my life and my light, my joy and my salvation, and my redemption from everlasting wo. Yea, blessed is the name of my God, who hath been mindful of this people, which are a branch of the tree of Israel, and hath been lost from its body, in a strange land; yea, I say, blessed be the name of my God, who hath been mindful of us wanderers in a strange land.

If this is bragging, then I will brag. This is my life and my light, my happiness and my salvation. This saves me from sadness forever. Blessed is the name of my God. He has remembered this people. They are a branch of the family of Israel. They have been lost from their people in a strange land. Blessed be the name of my God who has remembered us wanderers in a strange land.
Paraphrase
“If this is boasting, then I’ll keep on boasting. He is my life and my light, my joy and my salvation, my rescue from everlasting suffering. Blessed is the name of my God, who has remembered this people—a branch of Israel’s family tree that’s been lost in a foreign land. Blessed be the name of my God, who has remembered us wanderers in a strange land.”
