1 In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame; ♦︎
deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Incline your ear to me; ♦︎
make haste to deliver me.
3 Be my strong rock, a fortress to save me,
for you are my rock and my stronghold; ♦︎
guide me, and lead me for your names sake.
4 Take me out of the net
that they have laid secretly for me, ♦︎
for you are my strength.
5 Into your hands I commend my spirit, ♦︎
for you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
19 How abundant is your goodness, O Lord,
which you have laid up for those who fear you; ♦︎
which you have prepared in the sight of all
for those who put their trust in you.
20 You hide them in the shelter of your presence
from those who slander them; ♦︎
you keep them safe in your refuge from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord! ♦︎
For he has shown me his steadfast love
when I was as a city besieged.
22 I had said in my alarm,
I have been cut off from the sight of your eyes. ♦︎
Nevertheless, you heard the voice of my prayer
when I cried out to you.
23 Love the Lord, all you his servants; ♦︎
for the Lord protects the faithful,
but repays to the full the proud.
24 Be strong and let your heart take courage, ♦︎
all you who wait in hope for the Lord.

30When all these things have happened to you, the blessings and the curses that I have set before you, if you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, 2and return to the Lord your God, and you and your children obey him with all your heart and with all your soul, just as I am commanding you today, 3then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you, gathering you again from all the peoples among whom the Lord your God has scattered you. 4Even if you are exiled to the ends of the world,* from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you back. 5The Lord your God will bring you into the land that your ancestors possessed, and you will possess it; he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors.

6 It is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all Israelites truly belong to Israel,
7and not all of Abrahams children are his true descendants; but It is through Isaac that descendants shall be named after you.
8This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.
9For this is what the promise said, About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son.
10Nor is that all; something similar happened to Rebecca when she had conceived children by one husband, our ancestor Isaac.
11Even before they had been born or had done anything good or bad (so that Gods purpose of election might continue,
12not by works but by his call) she was told, The elder shall serve the younger.
13As it is written,
I have loved Jacob,
but I have hated Esau.
