Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

And David said, As the Lord lives, the Lord shall strike him, or his day shall come and he die, or he shall go down to battle and be added [to his fathers].

And it shall come to pass when your days have been fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, even from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom.

But why have the seasons been hidden from the Lord,

To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.

a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to pull down, and a time to build up;

a time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak;

Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,

Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

Therefore they were seeking to arrest Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

"Now My soul has been troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this reason I came to this hour.

Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,

And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has placed in His own authority.

Now on the next night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, Paul; for as you solemnly testified about the things concerning Me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."

saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; for it is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those sailing with you.'

For I am already being poured out [as a drink offering], and the time of my departure has arrived.

knowing that the putting off of my tent is soon, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

Keep me as the apple of Your eye from those that resist Your right hand; You shall screen me by the covering of Your wings,

from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me; my enemies have compassed about my soul.

Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down; deliver my soul from the ungodly; [draw] Your sword,

For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together,

O God, go not far from me, O my God, draw near to my help.

Attend to my supplication, for I am brought very low; deliver me from them that persecute me; for they are stronger than I.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark [place], as those that have been long dead.

And in Your mercy You will destroy my enemies, and will destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am Your servant.

And I will make you to this people as a strong bronze wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall by no means prevail against you.

For I am with you, to save you, and to deliver you out of the hand of wicked [men]; and I will ransom you out of the hand of pestilent [men].
