Hey,<br>
<br>
I would translate "God for me provided thee" with: 'Deus mihi te providit.'<br>
<br>
'Providere' is better than 'donare', which means 'to give (as a present)' Also, perfect tense is better than imperfect, because (I think) it's about one occurence in the past, whereas 'donabat' means 'he was giving'.<br>
The dative of the 1st S. person of the pronomen is 'mihi', and the accusative of the 2nd. S. person of the pronomen is 'te'.<br>
