Dea Ben,
I understand your translation and the reasoning behind it, but I doubt
that a
periphrastic would be formed by two words which are so far apart.  Can
you show me
some examples elsewhere?  The relative clause usually modifies the word
or phrase
immediately preceeding it, in this case "uWBass:RiYDiYM," thus, "the
survivors whom
the Lord calls."
