and saith to them, 'I am beholding your father's face -- that it is not towards me as heretofore, and the God of my father hath been with me,

For all His judgments are before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.

And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on the throne of Israel -- only, if thy sons watch their way, to walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me.

And thou -- if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee -- My statutes and My judgments thou dost keep --

And this is small in Thine eyes, O God, and Thou speakest concerning the house of thy servant afar off, and hast seen me as a type of the man who is on high, O Jehovah God!

And thou, if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and My statutes and My judgments dost keep --

He breaketh me -- breach upon breach, He runneth upon me as a mighty one.

Why do you pursue me as God? And with my flesh are not satisfied?

For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.

Who doth make me as in months past, As in the days of God's preserving me?

Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice.

(But from my youth He grew up with me as with a father, And from the belly of my mother I am led.)

Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.

He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!

For thus said Jehovah unto me: 'As growl doth the lion and the young lion over his prey, Called against whom is a multitude of shepherds, From their voice he is not affrighted, And from their noise he is not humbled; So come down doth Jehovah of Hosts To war on mount Zion, and on her height.

My sojourning hath departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd's tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cutteth me off, From day unto night Thou dost end me.

I greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on her jewels.

and all -- as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing, ye shall receive.'

and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

'Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;

According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on it,

and my trial that is in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as Christ Jesus;

and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,

And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,

and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.
