¹⁷ And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!

⁷ so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth -- God;

³ Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy purposes,

¹⁶ and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace,

¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.

¹ As to the rest, pray ye, brethren, concerning us, that the word of the Lord may run and may be glorified, as also with you,

¹² O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.

²⁸ And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone.

¹⁸ and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

²⁵ I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee.

⁴ One `thing' I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

² beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

³ Thy people `are' free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

⁷ God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

³ O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

²⁸ Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us.

² From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
