'Rather' in the Bible
Rather for you I wait, O Yahweh. You will answer, O Lord my God.
For not with their sword did they possess [the] land, and their arm did not give them victory. Rather [it was] your right hand and your arm and the light of your presence, because you delighted in them.
Rather you have saved us from our enemies, and have humiliated those who hate us.
Rather, on account of you we are killed {all day long}; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter.
rather God [is the] judge; one he brings low, and another he lifts up.
Because better [is] a day in your courtyards than a thousand [elsewhere]. I would rather be at the threshold of the house of my God than to dwell in [the] tents of wickedness.
Rather I have soothed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother, like the weaned child [is] my soul with me.
