- "Thisª [is] the copyª of the letterª thatª they sentª° unto¹ him,² [even] unto¹ Artaxerxesª the king;ª Thy servantsª the menª on this sideª the river,ª and at such a time.ª ... Weª certifyª° the kingª that,¹ ifª thisª cityª be buildedª° [again], and the wallsª thereof set up,ª° by thisª meansª thou shalt haveª noª portionª on this sideª the river.ª" {Ezr 4:11-16} + "Then I proclaimedª° a fastª there,¹ at¹ the riverª of Ahava,ª that we might afflict²° ourselves¹ beforeª our God,ª to seekª° of¹ him a rightª wayª for us, and for our little ones,ª and for all¹ our substance.ª ... For¹ I was ashamedª° to requireª° of¹ the kingª a band of soldiersª and horsemenª to helpª° us against the enemyª°¹ in the way:ª because¹ we had spokenª° unto the king,ª saying,ª° The handª of our Godª [is] upon¹ all¹ them for goodª that seekª° him; but his powerª and his wrathª [is] against¹ all¹ them that forsakeª° him." {Ezr 8:21-22} + "[[[A Psalm] of David.]]ª The LORDª [is] my lightª and my salvation;ª whom¹¹ shall I fear?ª° the LORDª [is] the strengthª of my life;ª of whom¹¹ shall I be afraid?ª° ... When the wicked,ª° [even] mine enemiesª and my foes,ª° cameª° upon¹ me to eat upª°¹ my flesh,ª they¹ stumbledª° and fell.ª°" {Psa 27:1-2} + "Mine enemiesª° would dailyª¹ swallow²° [me] up:¹ for¹ [they be] manyª that fightª° against me, O thou most High.ª ... In Godª I will praiseª° his word,ª in Godª I have put my trust;ª° I will not¹ fearª° what¹ fleshª can doª° unto me." {Psa 56:2-4}
