Guarantee Your servant’s well-being; Let not the proud oppress me.
By as much as this יהושע has become a guarantor of a better covenant.
“Like a swallow or a thrush, so I chattered; I moaned like a dove; my eyes look weakly on high. O יהוה, I am oppressed, undertake for me!
You rebuked the proud, cursed ones, Who are straying from Your commands.
Please lay down a pledge for me with Yourself. Who would strike hands with me?
Let not the foot of pride come against me, And the hand of the wrong drive me away.
“I myself shall stand guaranty for him – from my hand you are to require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.
