⁹⁴ I am yours, O be my saviour; for my desire has been for your rules.

⁴ Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.

⁵ So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it.

⁶ And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.

¹⁷ The Lord your God is among you, as a strong saviour: he will be glad over you with joy, he will make his love new again, he will make a song of joy over you as in the time of a holy feast.

⁸ Be not very angry, O Lord, and do not keep our sins in mind for ever: give ear to our prayer, for we are all your people.

⁹ Your holy towns have become a waste, Zion has become a waste, Jerusalem is a mass of broken walls.

¹⁰ Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers gave praise to you, is burned with fire; and all the things of our desire have come to destruction.

⁵ One will say, I am the Lord's; and another will give himself the name, Jacob; another will put a mark on his hand, I am the Lord's, and another will take the name of Israel for himself.

² The Lord who made you, forming you in your mother's body, the Lord, your helper, says, Have no fear, O Jacob my servant, and you, Jeshurun, whom I have taken for myself.

⁸ But as for you, Israel, my servant, and you, Jacob, whom I have taken for myself, the seed of Abraham my friend:

⁹ You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and sent for from its farthest parts, saying to you, You are my servant, whom I have taken for myself, and whom I have not given up:

¹⁰ Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.

¹⁷³ Let your hand be near for my help; for I have given my heart to your orders.

⁴⁰ See how great is my desire for your orders: give me life in your righteousness.

²⁷ Make the way of your orders clear to me; then my thoughts will be ever on your wonders.

² Keep my soul, for I am true to you; O my God, give salvation to your servant, whose hope is in you.

²³ For this night there came to my side an angel of the God who is my Master and whose servant I am,

²⁴ Saying, Have no fear, Paul, for you will come before Caesar, and God has given to you all those who are sailing with you.
