¹⁷ For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good.

¹⁴ The Lord is the support of all who are crushed, and the lifter up of all who are bent down.

⁸ My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.

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.

¹ See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.

¹⁵ Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.

¹⁵ And from the evil-doers their light is kept back, and the arm of pride is broken.

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

¹¹⁶ Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame.

¹¹⁷ Let me not be moved, and I will be safe, and ever take delight in your rules.

¹² And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to give you a place in his glory, free from all evil, with great joy,

¹² Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.

²¹ Son of man, the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, has been broken by me, and no band has been put round it to make it well, no band has been twisted round it to make it strong for gripping the sword.

²² For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and by me his strong arm will be broken; and I will make the sword go out of his hand.

²³ And I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.

²⁴ And I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and will put my sword in his hand: but Pharaoh's arms will be broken, and he will give cries of pain before him like the cries of a man wounded to death.

²⁵ And I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and the arms of Pharaoh will be hanging down; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and it is stretched out against the land of Egypt.
