⁵⁰ This `is' my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.

⁴ for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

⁷ Jehovah `is' my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.

¹¹ What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

⁸ By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song `is' with me, A prayer to the God of my life.

¹¹ and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.

¹² Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up;

¹⁷ in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath,

¹⁸ that through two immutable things, in which `it is' impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before `us',

¹⁹ which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,

³ And not only `so', but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;

⁴ and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;

⁵ and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.

⁶³ the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

¹⁶ Thy words have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, God of Hosts.

¹⁹ In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.

¹³ I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!

² as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,

³ Blessed `is' the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness did beget us again to a living hope, through the rising again of Jesus Christ out of the dead,

¹⁸ having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.

¹⁰ And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet -- a very very great force.

²⁵ `Daleth.' Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.
