¹⁸ And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.

²⁰ Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back -- Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back -- Thou bringest me up.

¹² So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

¹³ for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

¹ Also you -- being dead in the trespasses and the sins,

² in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience,

³ among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others,

⁴ and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

⁵ even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)

⁶⁶ From this `time' many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

⁶⁷ Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?'

⁶⁸ Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

⁶⁹ and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

⁴ Draw me: after thee we run, The king hath brought me into his inner chambers, We do joy and rejoice in thee, We mention thy loves more than wine, Uprightly they have loved thee!

¹⁵⁶ Thy mercies `are' many, O Jehovah, According to Thy judgments quicken me.

¹⁵⁴ Plead my plea, and redeem me, According to Thy saying quicken me.

¹⁰⁷ I have been afflicted very much, O Jehovah, quicken me, according to Thy word.

⁴⁰ Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,

³⁷ Remove mine eyes from seeing vanity, In Thy way quicken Thou me.

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

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

¹³ And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!

³⁸ and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'

³⁹ and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
