Common English Bible

¹⁴ He judged the congregation
by the Lord’s law,
    and the Lord watched over Jacob.
¹⁵ He proved to be a reliable prophet
because of his faithfulness,
    and through his words
    he became known as a trustworthy seer.
¹⁶ He called upon the Lord, the mighty one,
    with an offering of a nursing lamb
    when his enemies pressed on him
    from every side.
