Psalms 35:20–23

⁴And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

²²Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

²³Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

¹⁹But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

¹⁵Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.

³And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

⁵Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

¹⁹He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

²⁴But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

⁵Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

⁶My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

⁷I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

²Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

³They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.

⁴Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

⁵The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

¹³For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

³The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

⁴He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

¹²They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

²Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully.

⁴That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

⁵They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

⁶They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

⁵³And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

⁵⁴Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

¹³They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹⁵Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

³Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

⁷For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

¹²The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

⁷¶ And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

¹WHY standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

¹UNTO thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

⁶Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

¹¹Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

²¹Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.

¹²O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

¹⁹But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

¹²Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

²¹These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

¹KEEP not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

³⁴I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

²³Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

⁶Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

⁴They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

²⁶He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

⁹¶ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

²⁸And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

⁵I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

²Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
