And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;

And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:

I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
