⁴ His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

⁵ Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

⁶ Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

⁷ Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

⁸ Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

⁹ Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

¹⁰ Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halleluiah!

33 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and that dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; when thou shalt make an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

⁶ and he shall be the stability of thy times, the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah shall be your treasure.

⁷ Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the messengers of peace weep bitterly.

⁸ The highways are desolate, the wayfaring man ceaseth. He hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

⁹ The land mourneth, it languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, is withered; the Sharon is become as a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped.

²¹ And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;

²² and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried [to him] saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.

²³ But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to [him] and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.

²⁴ But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.

²⁵ But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.

²⁶ But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.

²⁹ And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;

³¹ so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
