⁸ Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.

³⁷ And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, `What shall we do, men, brethren?'

³⁸ and Peter said unto them, `Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

³⁹ for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.'

⁴⁰ Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, `Be saved from this perverse generation;'

⁴¹ then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,

¹⁸ `The Spirit of the Lord `is' upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance,

⁴ `Happy the mourning -- because they shall be comforted.

¹ `Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up.

² He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.

¹⁵ For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and holy `is' His name: `In the high and holy place I dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,'

¹⁶ For, not to the age do I strive, nor for ever am I wroth, For the spirit from before Me is feeble, And the souls I have made.

¹⁷ For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been wroth, and I smite him, Hiding -- and am wroth, And he goeth on turning back in the way of his heart.

¹⁸ His ways I have seen, and I heal him, yea, I lead him, And recompense comforts to him and to his mourning ones.

¹⁰ And the ransomed of Jehovah return, And have entered Zion with singing. And joy age-during on their head, Joy and gladness they attain, And fled away have sorrow and sighing!

⁵ Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,

⁶ Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!

⁸¹ `Kaph.' Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.

⁸² Consumed have been mine eyes for Thy word, Saying, `When doth it comfort me?'

³ Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.

¹⁰ All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'

¹¹ Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me `with' joy.

⁵ And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

² Favour me, O Jehovah, for I `am' weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

³ And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

¹⁷ Lo, the happiness of mortal man, God doth reprove him: And the chastisement of the Mighty despise not,

¹⁸ For He doth pain, and He bindeth up, He smiteth, and His hands heal.

²⁹ And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,

³⁰ and having brought them forth, said, `Sirs, what must I do -- that I may be saved?'

³¹ and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved -- thou and thy house;'

³² and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household;

³³ and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe `them' from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,

³⁴ having brought them also into his house, he set food before `them', and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
