כִּֽי-תַעֲבֹר בַּמַּיִם אִתְּךָ-אָנִי וּבַנְּהָרוֹת לֹא יִשְׁטְפוּךָ כִּֽי-תֵלֵךְ בְּמוֹ-אֵשׁ לֹא תִכָּוֶה וְלֶהָבָה לֹא תִבְעַר-בָּֽךְ׃
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
אַֽל-תִּשְׂמְחִי אֹיַבְתִּי לִי כִּי נָפַלְתִּי קָמְתִּי כִּֽי-אֵשֵׁב בַּחֹשֶׁךְ יְהוָה אוֹר לִֽי׃
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
כִּֽי-יִפֹּל לֹֽא-יוּטָל כִּֽי-יְהוָה סוֹמֵךְ יָדֽוֹ׃
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
כִּי שֶׁבַע׀ יִפּוֹל צַדִּיק וָקָם וּרְשָׁעִים יִכָּשְׁלוּ בְרָעָֽה׃
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
מַה-תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי׀ נַפְשִׁי וּֽמַה-תֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִילִי לֵֽאלֹהִים כִּי-עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעֹת פָּנַי וֵֽאלֹהָֽי׃
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
ἀλλ' ὁ παρακαλῶν τοὺς ταπεινοὺς παρεκάλεσεν ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ Τίτου
Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
לֹֽא-יֵאָמֵר לָךְ עוֹד עֲזוּבָה וּלְאַרְצֵךְ לֹא-יֵאָמֵר עוֹד שְׁמָמָה כִּי לָךְ יִקָּרֵא חֶפְצִי-בָהּ וּלְאַרְצֵךְ בְּעוּלָה כִּֽי-חָפֵץ יְהוָה בָּךְ וְאַרְצֵךְ תִּבָּעֵֽל׃
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
Ἀφιλάργυρος ὁ τρόπος ἀρκούμενοι τοῖς παροῦσιν αὐτὸς γὰρ εἴρηκεν Οὐ μή σε ἀνῶ οὐδ᾽ οὐ μή σε ἐγκαταλίπω
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
וְיִבְטְחוּ בְךָ יוֹדְעֵי שְׁמֶךָ כִּי לֹֽא-עָזַבְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁיךָ יְהוָֽה׃
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
μνημονεύετε τοῦ λόγου οὗ ἐγὼ εἶπον ὑμῖν Οὐκ ἔστιν δοῦλος μείζων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ εἰ ἐμὲ ἐδίωξαν καὶ ὑμᾶς διώξουσιν· εἰ τὸν λόγον μου ἐτήρησαν καὶ τὸν ὑμέτερον τηρήσουσιν
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
מַה-תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי׀ נַפְשִׁי וַתֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִלִי לֵֽאלֹהִים כִּי-עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעוֹת פָּנָֽיו׃
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִֽישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִֽי׃
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
הִנֵּה אַשְׁרֵי אֱנוֹשׁ יֽוֹכִחֶנּוּ אֱלוֹהַּ וּמוּסַר שַׁדַּי אַל-תִּמְאָֽס׃
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
כִּי יְהוָה׀ אֹהֵב מִשְׁפָּט וְלֹא-יַעֲזֹב אֶת-חֲסִידָיו לְעוֹלָם נִשְׁמָרוּ וְזֶרַע רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָֽת׃
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
כִּֽי-הִשְׁפִּילוּ וַתֹּאמֶר גֵּוָה וְשַׁח עֵינַיִם יוֹשִֽׁעַ׃
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
