You have rebuked the proud, the cursed, who go astray from Your Commandments.

The proud have forged a lie against me, but I will keep Your Precepts with my whole heart.

Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us! For we are more than enough held in contempt.

Our soul has more than enough of the derision of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud who oppress us.

O Jehovah, You have deceived me, and I was deceived. You are stronger than I, and You have prevailed. I am in derision all the day; everyone mocks me.

Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him.

And He said to them, You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

And the people stood looking on. Moreover the rulers with them sneered, saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.

I have clung to Your Testimonies; O Jehovah, put me not to shame!

Many are my persecutors and my enemies, yet I have not turned aside from Your Testimonies.

Our heart is not turned back, nor have our steps turned aside from Your way,

My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside.

and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done what is good in Your eyes. And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.

He shall not fail nor be discouraged, until He has established justice on the earth; and the islands shall wait for His Law.

except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so persistently harasses us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, that you not become weary and faint in your souls.
