³ and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my distress, and is with me in the way that I have gone.'

³ And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, `Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.'

⁷ and Jacob feareth exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divideth the people who `are' with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,

⁴² unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.'

⁶ And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,

²⁴ And Jacob is left alone, and one wrestleth with him till the ascending of the dawn;

¹⁹ Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them -- I thank Jah.

²⁰ This `is' the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.

²¹ I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.

²² A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.

⁶ In all thy ways know thou Him, And He doth make straight thy paths.

¹⁹ For the people in Zion dwell in Jerusalem, Weep thou not, weeping, Pitying, He pitieth thee at the voice of thy cry, When He heareth He answereth thee.

² When thou passest into waters, I `am' with thee, And into floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire, thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against thee.

¹⁶ Cause `it' to come, O Jehovah, for I `am' Thy servant. I `am' Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

¹⁷ To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

¹⁸ My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

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.

¹⁵ `And lo, I `am' with thee, and have kept thee whithersoever thou goest, and have caused thee to turn back unto this ground; for I leave thee not till that I have surely done that which I have spoken to thee.'

²⁰ And Jacob voweth a vow, saying, `Seeing God is with me, and hath kept me in this way which I am going, and hath given to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on --

²¹ when I have turned back in peace unto the house of my father, and Jehovah hath become my God,

²² then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that Thou dost give to me -- tithing I tithe to Thee.'

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.

¹⁵ And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.

¹³ I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

¹⁴ For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:

¹⁵ He doth call Me, and I answer him, I `am' with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

¹ By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts -- His Holy Name.

² Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,

³ Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,

⁴ Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee -- kindness and mercies,

⁵ Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.

⁸ They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.

¹² And he dreameth, and lo, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and lo, messengers of God are going up and coming down by it;

¹³ and lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, `I `am' Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land on which thou art lying, to thee I give it, and to thy seed;
