²⁰ Blessed `is' God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!

¹⁴ I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealings perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,

¹⁵ and My kindness doth not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before thee,

²⁴ For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.

¹¹ Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me.

³⁵ Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed `is' God!

¹² I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.

¹³ For Thy kindness `is' great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
