Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted!
Say what you like, but it will not succeed,
For God is with us!
Come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh you.
Jehovah will sustain him on his sickbed;
During his sickness you will completely change his bed.
May Jehovah bless you and safeguard you.
May Jehovah make his face shine upon you, and may he favor you.
May Jehovah lift up his face toward you and grant you peace.
Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you; for everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking, it will be opened.
I will give you insight and instruct you in the way you should go.
I will give you advice with my eye upon you.
However, we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the power beyond what is normal may be God’s and not from us.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
I was once young and now I am old,
But I have not seen anyone righteous abandoned,
Nor his children looking for bread.
