Jeremiah 15:20

15:20 I will make you as strong as a wall to these people,

a fortified wall of bronze.

They will attack you,

but they will not be able to overcome you.

For I will be with you to rescue you and deliver you,” ¹ 

says the Lord.

Psalms 60:5

60:5 Deliver by your power ²  and answer me, ³ 

so that the ones you love may be safe. ⁴ 

Psalms 106:47

106:47 Deliver us, O Lord, our God!

Gather us from among the nations!

Then we will give thanks ⁵  to your holy name,

and boast about your praiseworthy deeds. ⁶ 

Matthew 8:25

8:25 So they came ⁷  and woke him up saying, “Lord, save us! We are about to die!”

Matthew 14:30

14:30 But when he saw the strong wind he became afraid. And starting to sink, he cried out, ⁸  “Lord, save me!”

¹ sn See 1:18. The Lord renews his promise of protection and reiterates his call to Jeremiah.

² tn Heb “right hand.”

³ tn The Qere (marginal reading) has “me,” while the Kethib (consonantal text) has “us.”

⁴ tn Or “may be rescued.” The lines are actually reversed in the Hebrew text, “So that the ones you love may be rescued, deliver by your power and answer me.”

⁵ tn Heb “to give thanks.” The infinitive construct indicates result after the imperative.

⁶ tn Heb “to boast in your praise.”

⁷ tn The participle προσελθόντες (proselqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁸ tn Grk “he cried out, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant and has not been translated.
