So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me!"

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

Whom have I in heaven [but You?] And [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire besides You.

"I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden [is] too heavy for me.

"If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now -- if I have found favor in Your sight -- and do not let me see my wretchedness!"

For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
