¹⁵³ `Resh.' See my affliction, and deliver Thou me, For Thy law I have not forgotten.

¹ Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look attentively, and see our reproach.

¹⁶ In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.

²⁰ See, O Jehovah, and look attentively, To whom Thou hast acted thus, Do women eat their fruit, infants of a handbreadth? Slain in the sanctuary of the Lord are priest and prophet?

¹ My son! my law forget not, And my commands let thy heart keep,

¹⁷⁶ I wandered as a lost sheep, seek Thy servant, For Thy precepts I have not forgotten!

¹⁵⁹ See, for thy precepts I have loved, Jehovah, According to Thy kindness quicken me.

¹⁴¹ Small I `am', and despised, Thy precepts I have not forgotten.

¹⁰⁹ My soul `is' in my hand continually, And Thy law I have not forgotten.

⁹⁸ Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it `is' before me to the age.

¹⁹ See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.

³ Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

⁴ Lest mine enemy say, `I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

¹³ Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

³² `And now, O our God -- God, the great, the mighty, and the fearful, keeping the covenant and the kindness -- let not all the travail that hath found us be little before Thee, for our kings, for our heads, and for our priests, and for our prophets, and for our fathers, and for all Thy people, from the days of the kings of Asshur unto this day;

⁷ And Jehovah saith, `I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who `are' in Egypt, and their cry I have heard, because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;

⁸ and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey -- unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
