⁸ But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause;

¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

⁵ Commit thy way unto Jehovah; Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.

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

²³ who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed `himself' to him that judgeth righteously:

¹ I will cry unto God with my voice, Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me.

² In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted.

²⁷ Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee; And thou shalt pay thy vows.

²¹ Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.

⁵ If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;

¹² And when he was in distress, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

¹³ And he prayed unto him; and he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah he was God.

⁷ Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;

⁸ and he said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the company which is left shall escape.

⁹ And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Jehovah, who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good:

¹⁰ I am not worthy of the least of all the lovingkindnesses, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two companies.

¹¹ Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children.

¹² And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

¹² For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day.

¹ Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly.

² And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, `And' thou heardest my voice.

³ For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.

⁴ And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

⁵ The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.

⁶ I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars `closed' upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

⁷ When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.
