⁴ Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people `as' they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

³ Judas then, having received the band `of soldiers', and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye?

⁵ They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am `he'. And Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

²² Why do ye persecute me as God, And are not satisfied with my flesh?

¹⁵ And many shall stumble thereon, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

¹² They compassed me about like bees; They are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

³ How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay `him', all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

⁴ They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah

¹⁶ For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.

³⁸ I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise: They shall fall under my feet.

³⁹ For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

⁴⁰ Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.

⁴¹ They cried, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

⁴² Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

⁴ The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

³ When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.

³¹ If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?

⁷ Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
