³⁵ Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy right hand hath holden me up, And thy gentleness hath made me great.

¹ Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

¹⁰ Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

²⁹ whereunto I labor also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

¹² So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

⁵ yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.

⁶ And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.

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

⁹ With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

¹⁸ When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.

¹² And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever.

²⁴ Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.

²¹ And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

²⁶ And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

²⁷ And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

²⁸ And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

²⁴ Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

¹² And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force.
