My God in his steadfast love will meet me; God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love.
For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
I have not run away from being your shepherd, nor have I desired the day of sickness. You know what came out of my lips; it was before your face.
Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.
His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
Do not remember against us our former iniquities; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.
They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life.
my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly.
Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me.
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son,
Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and so did all the men who were with him. And they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son and for the people of the Lord and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
And David said, “As the Lord lives, the Lord will strike him, or his day will come to die, or he will go down into battle and perish.
