Thematic Bible





A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjamite.
O Lord my God, in You I have taken refuge;
Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,


All Your commandments are faithful;
They have persecuted me with a lie; help me!

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies.

Shin.
Princes persecute me without cause,
But my heart stands in awe of Your words.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.

You who know, O Lord,
Remember me, take notice of me,
And take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
Do not, in view of Your patience, take me away;
Know that for Your sake I endure reproach.

Our pursuers are at our necks;
We are worn out, there is no rest for us.





“But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake.

Thus let all Your enemies perish, O Lord;
But let those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might.”
And the land was undisturbed for forty years.


If I sharpen My flashing sword,
And My hand takes hold on justice,
I will render vengeance on My adversaries,
And I will repay those who hate Me.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song.
Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered,
And let those who hate Him flee before Him.

Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries,
The uproar of those who rise against You which ascends continually.

Therefore the Lord God of hosts,
The Mighty One of Israel, declares,
“Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries
And avenge Myself on My foes.
