³ O Israel, have hope in the Lord, from this time and for ever.

⁷ O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

⁵ Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

⁴ Let your hope be in the Lord for ever: for the Lord Jah is an unchanging Rock.

⁹ O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

¹⁰ O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

¹¹ You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

¹⁸ But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord.

⁷ A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

⁸ For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.
