Psalms 27:2

I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.

They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.

Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.

There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.

For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

who also eat the flesh of my people, and peel their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as meat within the cauldron.

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them, because they put their trust in him.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Yahweh?

But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.

Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name;

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”

There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.

The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.”

Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured. All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity. Those who plunder you will be plunder. I will make all who prey on you become prey.

I will make you a terror, and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’

Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”

Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”

If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,

He will fly away as a dream, and will not be found. Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

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

Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.

Ah, the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!

Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness!

If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

Then he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and won’t be found.

You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;

He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

Only don’t rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us. Don’t fear them.”

The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.

Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”

Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.

Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.

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

Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors.

Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!

when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth.

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.

Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

“For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”

Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, and on the families that don’t call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob. Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.

Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.

Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,

When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.

The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.

Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”

Yahweh helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?

Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.

They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In Yahweh’s name I cut them off.

The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider your statutes.

They draw near who follow after wickedness. They are far from your law.

then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
