7 O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption.
My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, `himself' man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony `to be borne' in its own times;
O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield. Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield. Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless `us': He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear Jehovah, Both small and great.

The psalmist here expresses,
And, as in water face answers to face, so does the heart of one humble penitent to another.
A song of degrees.
