¹² `And ye have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed unto Me, and I have hearkened unto you,

¹³ And ye have sought Me, and have found, for ye seek Me with all your heart;

¹⁴ And I have been found of you -- an affirmation of Jehovah; and I have turned back `to' your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places whither I have driven you -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and I have brought you back unto the place whence I removed you.

²⁵ Good `is' Jehovah to those waiting for Him, To the soul `that' seeketh Him.

²⁶ Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation of Jehovah.

²⁷ Good for a man that he beareth a yoke in his youth.

⁷ Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.

¹² for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard -- to that day.

⁷ and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

⁷ all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth for you.

⁴ `Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye `thus' in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

²⁸ `Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,

²⁹ take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,

³⁰ for my yoke `is' easy, and my burden is light.'

⁷ Blessed `is' the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.

⁸ And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

⁹ Crooked `is' the heart above all things, And it `is' incurable -- who doth know it?

³¹ But those expecting Jehovah pass `to' power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!

¹⁰ Desist, and know that I `am' God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

⁷ And he saith to Judah, `Let us build these cities, and compass `them' with wall, and towers, two-leaved doors, and bars, while the land `is' before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God, we have sought, and He giveth rest to us round about;' and they build and prosper.

¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,

¹⁴ Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!

¹⁷ And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness -- Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age.

³ An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace -- peace! For in Thee it is confident.

²² Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.

¹⁵ For thus said the Lord Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel: `In returning and rest ye are saved, In keeping quiet and in confidence is your might, And ye have not been willing.
