¹⁰ But none saith, Where is God my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night,

²⁵ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

⁵ Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

⁸ `Yet' Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time; And in the night his song shall be with me, `Even' a prayer unto the God of my life.

¹³ and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

⁶ I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.

¹⁹ Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.

⁵ For thy Maker is thy husband; Jehovah of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.

¹ Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

¹³ But they that are godless in heart lay up anger: They cry not for help when he bindeth them.

²¹ And they shall pass through it, sore distressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and turn their faces upward:

⁶² At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee Because of thy righteous ordinances.

³ I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

²² For I know not to give flattering titles; `Else' would my Maker soon take me away.

¹⁰ Will he delight himself in the Almighty, And call upon God at all times?

²² And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against Jehovah, this same king Ahaz.

²³ For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him; and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, `therefore' will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

¹³ So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Jehovah, because of the word of Jehovah, which he kept not; and also for that he asked counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire `thereby',

¹⁴ and inquired not of Jehovah: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
