Now I will rise up to rescue them,
as they have longed for me to do.”

as they have longed for me to do.”

like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over.

preserving them forever from this lying generation,

Thou, Jehovah, wilt keep them, thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
