8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see `his desire' upon his adversaries.
My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see `my desire' upon mine enemies.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All ye that hope in Jehovah. Psalm 32 `A Psalm' of David. Maschil.
Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see `my desire' upon them that hate me.
Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein they that occupied themselves were not profited.
Mine eye also hath seen `my desire' on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard `my desire' of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
