²⁰ And God doth good to the midwives, and the people multiply, and are very mighty;

¹⁰ Say ye to the righteous, that `it is' good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat.

¹² Though a sinner is doing evil a hundred `times', and prolonging `himself' for it, surely also I know that there is good to those fearing God, who fear before Him.

¹⁸ The wicked is getting a lying wage, And whoso is sowing righteousness -- a true reward.

¹² and as they afflict it, so it multiplieth, and so it breaketh forth, and they are vexed because of the sons of Israel;

¹⁰ for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having ministered to the saints and ministering;

⁵⁰ And His kindness `is' to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,

⁴⁰ `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did `it' to one of these my brethren -- the least -- to me ye did `it'.

⁴² and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.'

¹⁷ Whoso is lending `to' Jehovah is favouring the poor, And his deed He repayeth to him.

¹⁹ The desire of those fearing Him He doth, And their cry He heareth, and saveth them.

⁵ Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

¹¹ For, as the height of the heavens `is' above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.

⁹ Only, near to those fearing Him `is' His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.

⁵ For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.

² Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.

⁷ and the sons of Israel have been fruitful, and they teem, and multiply, and are very very mighty, and the land is filled with them.
