And when Gideon came to the Jordan, he and the three hundred men with him crossed over, exhausted but still pursuing.

I am poured out like water, and all My bones are separated; My heart is like wax, it has melted within Me.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue clings to My jaws; and You have brought Me into the dust of death.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst!

We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Arise, O Jehovah; deliver me, O my God; for You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Your blessing is on Your people. Selah.

For who is God besides Jehovah? Or, who is a Rock except our God?

He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places.

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; and Your right hand has held me up, and Your meekness has made me great.

I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; nor did I turn back until they were destroyed.

For You have clasped me with strength for the battle; You bowed down under me those who rose up against me.

Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose over him, and he was limping on his thigh.

And so that I should not be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I should not be made haughty.

Concerning this thing I entreated the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

And it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, This is his wife; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.

Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and my soul shall live because of you.

And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife.

And David thought in his heart, Now I shall perish one day at the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should slip away to escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. Thus I shall escape out of his hand.

For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened exceedingly, beyond strength, so that we despaired even of life.

Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,

And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets:

And David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the ranks of the living God!

Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has reproached the ranks of the living God.

Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
