Psalm 56

¹Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
²Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
³What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
⁴In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
⁵Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
⁶They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
⁷Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
⁸Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
⁹When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
¹⁰In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.
¹¹In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
¹²Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
¹³For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Psalm 57

¹Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
²I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
³He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
⁴My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
⁵Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
⁶They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
⁷My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
⁸Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
⁹I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
¹⁰For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
¹¹Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.

¹²And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
¹³To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
¹⁴Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord’s thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
¹⁵Only the Lord had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
¹⁶Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
¹⁷For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
¹⁸He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
¹⁹Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
²⁰Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
²¹He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
²²Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the Lord thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

¹¹And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
¹²And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
¹³Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
¹⁴And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
¹⁵Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
¹⁶And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
¹⁷Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
¹⁸For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
¹⁹When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
²⁰But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
²¹The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
²²Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
²³And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
²⁴When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
²⁵Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
²⁶Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
