¹⁴ And he took up his position in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack, and overcame the Philistines; and the Lord gave a great salvation.

¹³ Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help.

³¹ We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

⁸ Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.

¹¹ If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to him?

²⁰ Our God is for us a God of salvation; his are the ways out of death.

¹⁴ If my people, on whom my name is named, make themselves low and come to me in prayer, searching for me and turning from their evil ways; then I will give ear from heaven, overlooking their sin, and will give life again to their land.

⁶ For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.

¹⁷ If our God, whose servants we are, is able to keep us safe from the burning and flaming fire, and from your hands, O King, he will keep us safe.

¹⁹ Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: and he gave orders that the fire was to be heated up seven times more than it was generally heated.

¹⁶ And now, why are you waiting? get up, and have baptism, for the washing away of your sins, giving worship to his name.

¹³ And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.

¹⁴ If you make any request to me in my name, I will do it.

¹⁵ If you have love for me, you will keep my laws.

¹⁶ And I will make prayer to the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you for ever,

¹⁷ Even the Spirit of true knowledge. That Spirit the world is not able to take to its heart because it sees him not and has no knowledge of him: but you have knowledge of him, because he is ever with you and will be in you.

¹⁷ The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.

¹⁰ Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.

¹³ From time long past I am God, and from this day I am he: there is no one who is able to take you out of my hand: when I undertake a thing, by whom will my purpose be changed?

² Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.

³ He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.

⁴ You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.
