• Deuteronomy 32:26, 27
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 26 I would have said: “I will scatter them;

      I will make the memory of them cease from among men,”

      27 If not for my dread of the enemy’s reaction,+

      Because the adversaries might misconstrue it.+

      They might say: “Our power has triumphed;+

      It was not Jehovah who did all of this.”

  • Psalm 79:9, 10
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    •  9 Help us, O God of our salvation,+

      For the sake of your glorious name;

      Rescue us and forgive* our sins for the sake of your name.+

      10 Why should the nations say: “Where is their God?”+

      Before our eyes may it become known among the nations

      That the shed blood of your servants has been avenged.+
