⁸ O Hope of Israel -- its saviour in time of trouble, Why art Thou as a sojourner in the land? And as a traveller turned aside to lodge?

¹³ The hope of Israel `is' Jehovah, All forsaking Thee are ashamed, And `My apostates' in the earth are written, For they have forsaken Jehovah, A fountain of living waters.

³ For I -- Jehovah thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour, I have appointed Egypt thine atonement, Cush and Seba in thy stead.

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

⁷ All finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against Jehovah, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers -- Jehovah.

²¹ Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time hath declared it? Is it not I -- Jehovah? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save Me.

¹¹ I -- I `am' Jehovah, And besides Me there is no saviour.

³⁹ And the salvation of the righteous `is' from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity.

⁴⁰ And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!

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

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

⁴ who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

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

²⁰ for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with `you', for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.'

¹⁶ And Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And shaken have the heavens and earth, And Jehovah `is' a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to sons of Israel.

¹⁵ Surely Thou `art' a God hiding Thyself, God of Israel -- Saviour!

⁷ If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

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

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.

¹ Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,

¹⁷ And he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the man, the traveller, in a broad place of the city, and the aged man saith, `Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?'
