1 Have mercy on me, O God, for they trample over me; ♦︎
all day long they assault and oppress me.
2 My adversaries trample over me all the day long; ♦︎
many are they that make proud war against me.
3 In the day of my fear I put my trust in you, ♦︎
in God whose word I praise.
4 In God I trust, and will not fear, ♦︎
for what can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they wound me with words; ♦︎
their every thought is to do me evil.
6 They stir up trouble; they lie in wait; ♦︎
marking my steps, they seek my life.
7 Shall they escape for all their wickedness? ♦︎
In anger, O God, cast the peoples down.
8 You have counted up my groaning;
put my tears into your bottle; ♦︎
are they not written in your book?
9 Then shall my enemies turn back
on the day when I call upon you; ♦︎
this I know, for God is on my side.
10 In God whose word I praise,
in the Lord whose word I praise, ♦︎
in God I trust and will not fear:
what can flesh do to me?
11 To you, O God, will I fulfil my vows; ♦︎
to you will I present my offerings of thanks,
12 For you will deliver my soul from death
and my feet from falling, ♦︎
that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

4 When the Lord your God thrusts them out before you, do not say to yourself, It is because of my righteousness that the Lord has brought me in to occupy this land; it is rather because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is dispossessing them before you. 5It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to occupy their land; but because of the wickedness of those nations that the Lord your God is dispossessing them before you, in order to fulfil the promise that the Lord made on oath to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6 Know, then, that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land to occupy because of your righteousness; for you are a stubborn people. 7Remember and do not forget how you provoked the Lord your God to wrath in the wilderness; you have been rebellious against the Lord from the day you came out of the land of Egypt until you came to this place.
8 Even at Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, and the Lord was so angry with you that he was ready to destroy you. 9When I went up the mountain to receive the stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant that the Lord made with you, I remained on the mountain for forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water. 10And the Lord gave me the two stone tablets written with the finger of God; on them were all the words that the Lord had spoken to you at the mountain out of the fire on the day of the assembly. 11At the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant. 12Then the Lord said to me, Get up, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly. They have been quick to turn from the way that I commanded them; they have cast an image for themselves.

13 The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money-changers seated at their tables. 15Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16He told those who were selling the doves, Take these things out of here! Stop making my Fathers house a market-place! 17His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for your house will consume me. 18The Jews then said to him, What sign can you show us for doing this? 19Jesus answered them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20The Jews then said, This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days? 21But he was speaking of the temple of his body. 22After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
