⁵ And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, new I make all things; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words are true and stedfast;'

⁵⁰ This `is' my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.

⁶ be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,

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

⁸ Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,

¹ I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

² Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

³ Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.

⁴ `Happy the mourning -- because they shall be comforted.

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.

²⁶ and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.

²⁷ `Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;

²⁸ ye heard that I said to you -- I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said -- I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

⁵ because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

²² `And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one doth take from you,

¹⁷ so that if any one `is' in Christ -- `he is' a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

¹⁶ and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you -- to the age;

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.

¹⁸ `I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you;

¹⁹ yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live;

⁵ For -- a moment `is' in His anger, Life `is' in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

²⁴ For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.

⁹ And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

⁷ Good `is' Jehovah for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knoweth those trusting in Him.

⁴⁸ And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

⁴⁹ `Zain.' Remember the word to Thy servant, On which Thou hast caused me to hope.

⁵⁰ This `is' my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.

⁵¹ The proud have utterly scorned me, From Thy law I have not turned aside.

⁵² I remembered Thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, And I comfort myself.

⁵³ Horror hath seized me, Because of the wicked forsaking Thy law.

¹¹ For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking towards you -- an affirmation of Jehovah; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give to you posterity and hope.

⁸ My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?

¹ To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. `For the Virgins.' -- A song. God `is' to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

²⁰ Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back -- Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back -- Thou bringest me up.

²¹ Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest -- Thou comfortest me,

²² I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,

⁴ One `thing' I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

⁵ For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.

⁶ And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.
