³ My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

¹⁰ A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.

⁷ The law of Jehovah `is' perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah `are' stedfast, Making wise the simple,

²⁰ In a path of righteousness I cause to walk, In midst of paths of judgment,

⁸ O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

³ For my rock and my bulwark `art' Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.

¹⁶ And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These `are' the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.

³⁰ To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living.

⁸ Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.

⁹ Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.

¹⁰ Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou `art' my God -- Thy Spirit `is' good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.

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

⁹ Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake.

¹⁴ And I do `it' for My name's sake, Not to pollute `it' before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them forth.

⁴ I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For turned back hath Mine anger from him.

⁵ I am as dew to Israel, he flourisheth as a lily, And he striketh forth his roots as Lebanon.

⁶ Go on do his sucklings, And his beauty is as an olive, And he hath fragrance as Lebanon.

⁷ Return do the dwellers under his shadow, They revive `as' corn, and flourish as a vine, His memorial `is' as wine of Lebanon.

⁸ O Ephraim, what to Me any more with idols? I -- I afflicted, and I cause him to sing: `I `am' as a green fir-tree,' From Me is thy fruit found.

⁹ Who `is' wise, and doth understand these? Prudent, and knoweth them? For upright are the ways of Jehovah, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

¹⁸ Who `is' a God like Thee? taking away iniquity, And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He hath not retained for ever His anger, Because He -- He delighteth `in' kindness.

¹⁹ He doth turn back, He pitieth us, He doth subdue our iniquities, And Thou castest into the depths of the sea all their sins.

⁸ Thou dost not rejoice over me, O mine enemy, When I have fallen, I have risen, When I sit in darkness Jehovah is a light to me.

⁹ The indignation of Jehovah I do bear, For I have sinned against Him, Till that He doth plead my cause, And hath executed my judgment, He doth bring me forth to the light, I look on His righteousness.

³⁷ Lo, I am gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them in Mine anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath, and I have brought them back unto this place, and have caused them to dwell confidently;

³⁸ and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God;

³⁹ and I have given to them one heart, and one way, to fear Me all the days, for good to them, and to their sons after them:

⁴⁰ and I have made for them a covenant age-during, in that I turn not back from after them for My doing them good, and My fear I put in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me;

⁴¹ and I have rejoiced over them to do them good, and have planted them in this land in truth, with all my heart, and with all My soul.

⁴² `For thus said Jehovah: As I brought in unto this people all this great evil, so I am bringing in on them all the good that I am speaking concerning them;

⁸ Lo, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Among them `are' blind and lame, Conceiving and travailing one -- together, A great assembly -- they turn back hither.

¹¹ In a way of wisdom I have directed thee, I have caused thee to tread in paths of uprightness.

¹³ Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

⁴ Turn back `to' us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

⁵ To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

⁶ Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

⁷ Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

¹² Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.

³ Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.

³¹ And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,

³² and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'
