| Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. | Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul. |
| So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals 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?” |
|
| The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” | Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.” |
| And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and 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 goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. | 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 all things and will remind you of everything 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. |
| But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I 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. |
| Because I rescued the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to assist them. The one who was dying blessed me; I made the widow’s heart sing. | 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. |
| Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. | Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say. |
