⁶ But God who gives comfort to the poor in spirit gave us comfort by the coming of Titus;

²⁰ Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.

⁸ Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord will be a light to me.

⁴ You will not now be named, She who is given up; and your land will no longer be named, The waste land: but you will have the name, My pleasure is in her, and your land will be named, Married: for the Lord has pleasure in you, and your land will be married.

² When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.

¹⁶ For an upright man, after falling seven times, will get up again: but trouble is the downfall of the evil.

¹¹ Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

⁵ Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

²⁴ Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.

²⁵ I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

¹ <To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David.> My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?

¹⁰ And those who have knowledge of your name will put their faith in you; because you, Lord, have ever given your help to those who were waiting for you.

¹⁷ Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.

¹⁸ For after his punishment he gives comfort, and after wounding, his hands make you well.

¹⁹ He will keep you safe from six troubles, and in seven no evil will come near you.

²⁹ For God makes low those whose hearts are lifted up, but he is a saviour to the poor in spirit.
