    Let us try to know him.
    He can be trusted as (sure as) the sun rises
    and the rain rains.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Come! Let us know the LORD!
    Let us press on to know him!
    His going forth is as certain as the rising of the sun.
    He will come to us like the rain to our place,
    like the coming of rains to soak the fields."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)

  • English: “We must try to know Yahweh;
    if we do that, he will come and help us,
    as surely as the sun rises every morning,
    as surely as rain falls every winter/cold season,
    and as surely as the rain falls again in the springtime/at the end of the cold season.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
