Psalms 10:17

10:17 Lord, you have heard ¹  the request ²  of the oppressed;

you make them feel secure because you listen to their prayer. ³ 

Isaiah 65:24

65:24 Before they even call out, ⁴  I will respond;

while they are still speaking, I will hear.

Romans 8:26-27

8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, ⁵  but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. 8:27 And he ⁶  who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit ⁷  intercedes on behalf of the saints according to God’s will.

Romans 8:1

The Believer’s Relationship to the Holy Spirit

8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ⁸ 

Romans 5:14-15

5:14 Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type ⁹  of the coming one) transgressed. ¹⁰  5:15 But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. ¹¹  For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, ¹²  how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many!

[10:17]  ¹ sn You have heard. The psalmist is confident that God has responded positively to his earlier petitions for divine intervention. The psalmist apparently prayed the words of vv. 16-18 after the reception of an oracle of deliverance (given in response to the confident petition of vv. 12-15) or after the Lord actually delivered him from his enemies.

[10:17]  ² tn Heb “desire.”

[10:17]  ³ tn Heb “you make firm their heart, you cause your ear to listen.”

[65:24]  ⁴ tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[8:26]  ⁵ tn Or “for we do not know what we ought to pray for.”

[8:27]  ⁶ sn He refers to God here; Paul has not specifically identified him for the sake of rhetorical power (for by leaving the subject slightly ambiguous, he draws his audience into seeing God’s hand in places where he is not explicitly mentioned).

[8:27]  ⁷ tn Grk “he,” or “it”; the referent (the Spirit) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:1]  ⁸ tc The earliest and best witnesses of the Alexandrian and Western texts, as well as a few others (א* B D* F G 6 1506 1739 1881 pc co), have no additional words for v. 1. Later scribes (A D¹ Ψ 81 365 629 pc vg) added the words μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν (mh kata sarka peripatousin, “who do not walk according to the flesh”), while even later ones (א² D² 33^vid Ï) added ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα (alla kata pneuma, “but [who do walk] according to the Spirit”). Both the external evidence and the internal evidence are compelling for the shortest reading. The scribes were evidently motivated to add such qualifications (interpolated from v. 4) to insulate Paul’s gospel from charges that it was characterized too much by grace. The KJV follows the longest reading found in Ï.

[5:14]  ⁹ tn Or “pattern.”

[5:14]  ¹⁰ tn Or “disobeyed”; Grk “in the likeness of Adam’s transgression.”

[5:15]  ¹¹ tn Grk “but not as the transgression, so also [is] the gracious gift.”

[5:15]  ¹² sn Here the one man refers to Adam (cf. 5:14).
