וְעָלַ֣י הִטָּ֡ה חֶ֡סֶד לִפְנֵ֡י הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ וְיֹועֲצָ֡יו וְלִפְנֵ֡י כָּל שָׂרֵ֣י הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ הַגִּבֹּרִ֡ים וַאֲנִ֡י הִתְחַזַּ֡קְתִּי כְּיַ֣ד יְהוָ֡ה אֱלֹהַ֡י עָלַ֡י וָאֶקְבְּצָ֡ה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֡ל רָאשִׁ֡ים לַעֲלוֹ֩ת עִמִּֽי׃

King James Version (KJV)

And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

Modern English

and extended to me his steadfast love before the king and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty officers. I took courage, for the hand of the LORD my God was on me, and I gathered leading men from Israel to go up with me.
