⁵ Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways `to Zion'.

⁶ Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

⁷ They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

⁸ O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah

⁷ Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there is a greater with us than with him:

⁸ with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is Jehovah our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

⁹ After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,

⁸ It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in man.

¹⁵ For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not:

⁵ My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.

⁶ Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.

⁷ He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

⁸ His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see `his desire' upon his adversaries.

⁹ He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.

⁵ Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:

⁶ In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.

⁷ Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:

⁵ My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.

⁸ Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee.

¹ Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

⁴ For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, `even' our faith.

⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing.

¹¹ Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.
