Someday the Lord will wipe out all of your enemies. Then if I'm still alive, please be as kind to me as the Lord has been. But if I'm dead, be kind to my family.
And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of Jehovah, that I die not,
And if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but if I die,
As long as I live, show me the same kindness the Lord does. And if I die, never stop showing this kindness to my family. Be faithful to us, even when the Lord destroys all your enemies from the earth.”

Likewise I require not whiles I live: for I doubt not but thou wilt show me the mercy of the Lord, that I die not.
But as long as I live, ⌞promise me that you will⌟ show me kindness because of the Lord. And even when I die,
And if I remain alive, please keep your sacred promise and be loyal to me; but if I die,

“Come outside,” said Jonathan. “Let’s go to the field.” When the two of them were out in the field, Jonathan said, “As God, the God of Israel, is my witness, by this time tomorrow I’ll get it out of my father how he feels about you. Then I’ll let you know what I learn. May God do his worst to me if I let you down! If my father still intends to kill you, I’ll tell you and get you out of here in one piece. And God be with you as he’s been with my father! If I make it through this alive, continue to be my covenant friend. And if I die, keep the covenant friendship with my family—forever. And when God finally rids the earth of David’s enemies, stay loyal to Jonathan!” Jonathan repeated his pledge of love and friendship for David. He loved David more than his own soul!
And if I live, not only will you show me the kindness of the Lord, that I shall not die,
But as long as I live, promise me that you will show me kindness because of Yahweh. And even when I die,
Only this: if I am still alive, may you show me the kindness of the Lord. But if I die,
And if I am still alive, will you not show me the faithfulness of the Lord, so that I do not die?
If I am still alive, will you not show me the lovingkindness of the Lord, that I may not die?
Only will you not treat me with the Lord’s kindness as long as I live, so that I not be killed?
But show me the kindness of the Lord as long as I live so that I may not die.
While I am still alive, extend to me the loyalty of the Lord, or else I will die.
But always be kind to me, just as the Lord is. Be kind to me as long as I live. Then I won’t be killed.
But show me unfailing kindness like the Lord’s kindness as long as I live, so that I may not be killed,
But show me unfailing kindness like the Lord’s kindness as long as I live, so that I may not be killed,
And you shall not only show me the kindness of the Lord while I still live, that I may not die;
If I am still alive, show me the faithful love of the Lord, that I may not die.
And may you treat me with the faithful love of the Lord as long as I live. But if I die,
If I am still alive, show me the faithful love of the Lord; but if I die,
If I am still alive, show me the faithful love of the Lord; but if I die,
If I am still alive, show me the faithful love of the Lord; but if I die,
If I am still alive, show me the faithful love of the Lord, but if I die,

If I am still alive, show me the loyal love of the Lord, that I may not die;
If I am still alive, show me the loyal love of the Lord, that I may not die;
“Now if I am still alive, wouldn’t you show me the loyal love of Adonai so I wouldn’t die?
If I live, then show to me the faithful love of the Eternal that I may not die.
You shall not only show me the loving kindness of Yahweh while I still live, that I not die;
And if I live, do thou the mercies of the Lord to me; forsooth if I am dead, (And while I live, do thou the Lord’s mercies to me; but if I should die,)
and not only while I am alive dost thou do with me the kindness of Jehovah, and I die not,
