Lamentations 3:59

One man of you shall chase a thousand; for it is Yahweh your God who fights for you, as he spoke to you.

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac.

May Yahweh therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.”

Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.

Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”

It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’

Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’

Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.

May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.

Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.

I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!

I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.”

Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”

“Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.

He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!”

“Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!

A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.

Yahweh of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.

Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.

and said to them, “I see the expression on your father’s face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;

David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke it.”

He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally there to us. Our God will fight for us.”

“Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’

Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.

Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

Plead my cause, and redeem me! Revive me according to your promise.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man:

for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.

for their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.

But Yahweh says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce, for I will contend with him who contends with you and I will save your children.

But you, Yahweh, know me. You see me, and test my heart toward you. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.

Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.

I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light. I will see his righteousness.

We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”

Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”

For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.

Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife, and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them curses me.

You have seen all their vengeance and all their plans against me.

When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
