Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

my salvation comes from him. - And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.

my Savior and my God. - For you, God, tested us;
you refined us like silver. - Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God.
Do not forget the helpless.
