- Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord delivers him out of them all. - To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,
and a word in season, how good it is! - The Lord is good,
a stronghold in the day of trouble;
he knows those who take refuge in him. - To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass: that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.

fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices! - And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one and his name one.
- Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
