²⁸ But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.

²³ And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for `our' adoption, `to wit', the redemption of our body.

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.

¹ And in that day thou shalt say, I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah; for though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away and thou comfortest me.

² Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Jehovah, `even' Jehovah, is my strength and song; and he is become my salvation.

³ Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

⁸ He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken it.

⁹ And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

¹ Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee.

² For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

⁷ And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and `yet' he is longsuffering over them?

¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.

¹⁴ which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of `God's' own possession, unto the praise of his glory.

⁵ Sing praises unto Jehovah with the harp; With the harp and the voice of melody.

⁶ With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah.

⁷ Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein;

⁸ Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together

⁹ Before Jehovah; for he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.
