² Keep my soul, for I `am' pious, Save Thy servant -- who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.

¹² for our being to the praise of His glory, `even' those who did first hope in the Christ,

¹³ in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth -- the good news of your salvation -- in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

³ And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.

³ An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace -- peace! For in Thee it is confident.

⁴ Trust ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah `is' a rock of ages,

²⁷ according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

²⁸ and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

²⁹ my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

²⁶ if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.

¹¹ and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;

¹⁸ so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.

²³ and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call -- us --

²⁴ not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,

¹² and again, Isaiah saith, `There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations -- upon him shall nations hope;'

¹³ and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

³ neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock,

⁴ and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

⁵ In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;

¹² And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I `am' Thy servant!

¹²⁴ Do with Thy servant according to Thy kindness. And Thy statutes teach Thou me.

¹²⁵ Thy servant `am' I -- cause me to understand, And I know Thy testimonies.

⁹⁴ I `am' Thine, save Thou me, For Thy precepts I have sought.

⁹ The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.

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

¹ A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

¹⁹ And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.

² My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.

¹⁴ And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou `art' my God.'

²⁸ For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

⁵ Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.

⁷ `Not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples hath Jehovah delighted in you, and fixeth on you, for ye `are' the least of all the peoples,

⁸ but because of Jehovah's loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand, and doth ransom you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
