45:15 Vere tu es Deus abscónditus, * Deus Israël, Salvátor.

45:16 Confúsi sunt, et erubuérunt omnes: * simul abiérunt in confusiónem fabricatóres errórum.

45:17 Israël salvátus est in Dómino salúte ætérna: * non confundémini, et non erubescétis usque in sǽculum sǽculi.

45:18 Quia hæc dicit Dóminus creans cælos, * ipse Deus formans terram, et fáciens eam, ipse plastes ejus:

45:19 Non in vanum creávit eam, ut habitarétur, formávit eam: * Ego Dóminus, et non est álius.

45:20 Non in abscóndito locútus sum, * in loco terræ tenebróso:

45:21 Non dixi sémini Jacob frustra: Quǽrite me: * ego Dóminus loquens justítiam, annúntians recta.

45:22 Congregámini, et veníte, et accédite simul * qui salváti estis ex géntibus:

45:23 Nesciérunt qui levant lignum sculptúræ suæ, * et rogant deum non salvántem.

45:24 Annuntiáte, et veníte, et consiliámini simul: * Quis audítum fecit hoc ab inítio, ex tunc prædíxit illud?

45:25 Numquid non ego Dóminus, et non est ultra Deus absque me? * Deus justus, et salvans non est præter me.

45:26 Convertímini ad me, et salvi éritis, omnes fines terræ: * quia ego Deus, et non est álius.

45:27 In memetípso jurávi, egrediétur de ore meo justítiæ verbum, * et non revertétur:

45:28 Quia mihi curvábitur omne genu, * et jurábit omnis lingua.

45:29 Ergo in Dómino, dicet, meæ sunt justítiæ et impérium: * ad eum vénient, et confundéntur omnes qui repúgnant ei.

142:7a O Lord, heed me quickly. * My spirit has grown faint.

142:7b Do not turn your face away from me, * lest I become like those who descend into the pit.

142:8a Make me hear your mercy in the morning. * For I have hoped in you.

142:8b Make known to me the way that I should walk. * For I have lifted up my soul to you.

142:9 O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you. * (10a) Teach me to do your will. For you are my God.

142:10b Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land. * (11a) For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness.

84:9 and to his saints, * and to those who are being converted to the heart.

84:10 So then, truly his salvation is near to those who fear him, * so that glory may inhabit our land.

84:11 Mercy and truth have met each other. * Justice and peace have kissed.

45:17 Israel is saved in the Lord by an eternal salvation. * You will not be confounded, and you will not be ashamed, even forever and ever.

45:18 For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, * God himself who formed the earth and made it, the very Molder of it.

45:20 I have not spoken in secret, * in a dark place of the earth.

45:21 I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in vain.” * I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.

45:22 Assemble yourselves, and approach, and draw near together, * you who have been saved among the Gentiles.

45:23 They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, * and who petition a god unable to save.

45:24 Announce it, and approach, and consult together. * Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time?

45:25 Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? * I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.

45:27 I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, * and it will not turn back.

45:28 For every knee shall bend to me, * and every tongue shall swear it.

45:29 Therefore, he will say, “In the Lord are my justices and my dominion.” * They will go to him. And all who fight against him will be confounded.

45:30 In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel * will be justified and praised.

147:3 He has stationed peace at your borders, * and he has satisfied you with the fat of the grain.

147:4 He sends forth his eloquence to the earth. * His word runs swiftly.

147:5 He provides snow like wool. * He strews clouds like ashes.

147:6 He sends his ice crystals like morsels. * Who can stand firm before the face of his cold?

147:7 He will send forth his word, and it will melt them. * His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow.

147:8 He announces his word to Jacob, * his justices and his judgments to Israel.
