¹⁷⁰ Let my supplication come before thee: Deliver me according to thy word.

⁴¹ VAV. Let thy lovingkindnesses also come unto me, O Jehovah, Even thy salvation, according to thy word.

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.

²⁵ And now, O Jehovah God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou it for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.

² Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

² Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me.

²⁰ I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him:

²¹ With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

²² The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

²³ And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him.

²⁴ But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him; And in my name shall his horn be exalted.

²⁵ I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.
