²⁸ and these things beginning to happen bend yourselves back, and lift up your heads, because your redemption doth draw nigh.'

²³ And not only `so', but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting -- the redemption of our body;

³⁰ and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.

¹ And thou hast said in that day: `I thank thee, O Jehovah, Though Thou hast been angry with me, Turn back doth Thine anger, And Thou dost comfort me.

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.

³ And ye have drawn waters with joy Out of the fountains of salvation,

⁸ He hath swallowed up death in victory, And wiped hath the Lord Jehovah, The tear from off all faces, And the reproach of His people He turneth aside from off all the earth, For Jehovah hath spoken.

⁹ And `one' hath said in that day, `Lo, this `is' our God, We waited for Him, and He saveth us, This `is' Jehovah, we have waited for Him, We joy and rejoice in His salvation.'

¹ Arise, be bright, for come hath thy light, And the honour of Jehovah hath risen on thee.

² For, lo, the darkness doth cover the earth, And thick darkness the peoples, And on thee rise doth Jehovah, And His honour on thee is seen.

⁷ and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in regard to them?

¹⁹ for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;

¹⁴ which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.

⁵ Sing to Jehovah with harp, With harp, and voice of praise,

⁶ With trumpets, and voice of a cornet, Shout ye before the king Jehovah.

⁷ Roar doth the sea and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

⁸ Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud,

⁹ Before Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!
