²⁵ But I am certain that he who will take up my cause is living, and that in time to come he will take his place on the dust;

²⁶ And ... without my flesh I will see God;

²⁷ Whom I will see on my side, and not as one strange to me. My heart is broken with desire.

⁷ But as for me, I am looking to the Lord; I am waiting for the God of my salvation: the ears of my God will be open to me.

² See, God is my salvation; I will have faith in the Lord, without fear: for the Lord Jah is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.

¹⁸ I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.

⁴ Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

⁷⁶ Let your mercy now be my comfort, as you have said to your servant.

⁴ Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.

¹ <Of David.> The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?

²⁵ The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him.

⁶ So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

⁵⁰ This is my comfort in my trouble; that your sayings have given me life.
