He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
