¹⁷³ Let your hand be ready to help me, For I have chosen your precepts.

²² Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you Yahweh, to serve him. They said, We are witnesses.

⁴² but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."

¹³ I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

¹² For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

¹³ Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

¹⁴ Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

¹⁵ and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace;

¹⁶ above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

¹⁸ with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

¹⁹ on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel,

²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

⁹ He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

²⁴ Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, "I believe. Help my unbelief!"

¹⁰ Don't you be afraid, for I am with you; don't be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

¹¹ Behold, all those who are incensed against you shall be disappointed and confounded: those who strive with you shall be as nothing, and shall perish.

¹² You shall seek them, and shall not find them, even those who contend with you: those who war against you shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nothing.

¹³ For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, Don't be afraid; I will help you.

¹⁴ Don't be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will help you, says Yahweh, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

²⁹ Because they hated knowledge, And didn't choose the fear of Yahweh.

¹¹⁷ Hold me up, and I will be safe, And will have respect for your statutes continually.

¹¹¹ I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, For they are the joy of my heart.

⁹⁴ I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.

⁴⁰ Behold, I long for your precepts! Revive me in your righteousness.

³⁵ Direct me in the path of your commandments, For I delight in them.

³⁰ I have chosen the way of truth. I have set my heart on your law.

²⁴ Though he stumble, he shall not fall, For Yahweh holds him up with his hand.

¹¹ God said to him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;

¹² behold, I have done according to your word: behold, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like you before you, neither after you shall any arise like you.

¹⁵ If it seem evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh.

¹⁹ I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed;
