I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
12 Etenim Dominus dabit benignitatem: et terra nostra dabit fructum suum.
Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
13 Iustitia ante eum ambulabit: et ponet in via gressus suos.
Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
