⁵ Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; `They are' in the heart of the king's enemies.

² For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore.

²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah; And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

¹² For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

⁸ God bringeth him forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox: He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, And shall break their bones in pieces, And smite `them' through with his arrows.

¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;

⁵⁴ Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

⁷ And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

³³ But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and minded to slay them.

¹⁴ and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of them and women;

⁴ But many of them that heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

⁴¹ They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added `unto them' in that day about three thousand souls.

³⁷ Now when they heard `this,' they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

¹⁸ Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.

¹⁹ And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.

⁴² saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

⁴³ For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

⁴⁴ and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

¹³ For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.

¹⁴ And Jehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.

³ Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

⁴ All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah

¹ Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?

² The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, `saying',

³ Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.

⁴ He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.

⁵ Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:

⁶ Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.

⁷ I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.

⁸ Ask of me, and I will give `thee' the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

⁹ Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
