⁵ And he who is seated on the high seat said, See, I make all things new. And he said, Put it in the book; for these words are certain and true.

⁵⁰ This is my comfort in my trouble; that your sayings have given me life.

⁶ For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up;

⁷ Putting all your troubles on him, for he takes care of you.

⁸ Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

¹ I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.

² He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.

³ The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.

⁴ Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.

²² Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.

²⁶ But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher in all things and will put you in mind of everything I have said to you.

²⁷ May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.

²⁸ Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

⁵ For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater.

²² So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.

¹⁷ So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.

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.

¹⁸ I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.

¹⁹ A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.

⁵ For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

²⁴ For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

⁹ The Lord will be a high tower for those who are crushed down, a high tower in times of trouble;

⁷ The Lord is good, a strong place in the day of trouble; and he has knowledge of those who take him for their safe cover.

⁴⁸ And so that my hands may be stretched out to you; and I will give thought to your rules.

⁴⁹ <ZAIN> Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.

⁵⁰ This is my comfort in my trouble; that your sayings have given me life.

⁵¹ The men of pride have made great sport of me; but I have not been turned from your law.

⁵² I have kept the memory of your decisions from times past, O Lord; and they have been my comfort.

⁵³ I am burning with wrath, because of the sinners who have given up your law.

¹¹ For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope at the end.

⁸ You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song.> God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

²⁰ You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.

²¹ You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.

²² I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.

⁴ One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple.

⁵ For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.

⁶ And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.
