¹¹ Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

² So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.

² Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.)

⁴⁹ And the rest said, Let him be; let us see if Elijah will come to his help.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus gave a loud cry, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

⁴² A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

⁴³ He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

¹⁵ Now if you are ready, on hearing the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, to go down on your faces in worship before the image which I have made, it is well: but if you will not give worship, that same hour you will be put into a burning and flaming fire; and what god is there who will be able to take you out of my hands?

²² Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:

¹⁰ The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?

⁷ All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.

⁸ They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

²⁸ For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.

²⁵ I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

¹³ Have you no knowledge of what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of every land? were the gods of the nations of those lands able to keep their land from falling into my hands?

¹⁴ Who was there among all the gods of those nations, which my fathers put to destruction, who was able to keep his people safe from my hands? and is it possible that your God will keep you safe from my hands?
