When Adonai, your Lord and Master, regards you, looking intently at your life, He is pleased. You are under His care. He always gives you respect and favor.

You used to exert yourself and pant after vain things, things that end up in nothingness. Trouble, vanity, and wickedness were all that you were accustomed to see. Your nature was evil and you were given to iniquity. Afflictions and sorrow were your constant companions.

However, now when the Lord your God considers you, He approves of you. He gazes at you with joy. He sees no perverseness or wickedness in you. You do not weary nor grieve God. Even though He has made you a laborer in his vineyard, your labor is not irksome; your toil is not in vain, bringing only weariness to your body and mind. The Lord has made you a powerful prince with the strength to prevail.

You know that wherever you go, Jehovah is with you. The King, Himself, goes with you into the heat of the battle, shouting aloud His own battle cry. He sounds His trumpets, raising the alarm against your enemies. He rules over them and rejoices over you, for He knows that He always causes you to triumph.
