But surely, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life. | Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul. |
So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?” | So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?” |
|
Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.” | Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.” |
Because I delivered the poor who cried, and the orphan who had no helper. The blessing of the wretched came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. | Because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him, the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. |
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. | I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever. |
When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf. | When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me. |
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. | But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you. |
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. | Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. |
Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, just as you have said. | Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say. |
