¹³ and again, `Behold I and the children that God did give to me.'

¹⁷ And I have waited for Jehovah, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him.

¹⁸ Lo, I, and the children whom Jehovah hath given to me, `Are' for signs and for wonders in Israel, From Jehovah of Hosts, who is dwelling in Mount Zion.

² Lo, God `is' my salvation, I trust, and fear not, For my strength and song `is' Jah Jehovah, And He is to me for salvation.

²⁹ my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

² Jehovah `is' my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God `is' my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

¹⁵ for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I -- I did beget you;

⁶ I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

⁷ now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee,

⁸ because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

⁹ `I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

¹⁰ and all mine are Thine, and Thine `are' mine, and I have been glorified in them;

¹¹ and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;

¹² when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;'

¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed -- he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.

⁷ And the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set my face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed.

⁸ Near `is' He who is justifying me, Who doth contend with me? We stand together, who `is' mine opponent? Let him come nigh unto me.

⁹ Lo, the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Who `is' he that declareth me wicked? Lo, all of them as a garment wear out, A moth doth eat them.

³ Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah `are' sons, A reward `is' the fruit of the womb.

² He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

⁷ How precious `is' Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

⁸ They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

¹ A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

³ My God `is' my rock -- I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!

⁹ and Joseph saith unto his father, `They `are' my sons, whom God hath given to me in this `place';' and he saith, `Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I bless them.'

⁵ and he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, `What `are' these to thee?' And he saith, `The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.'
