Then I will have an answer for the one who insults me since I trust your word.
I have become the victim of my enemies’ insults. They look at me and shake their heads.
Remember the word ⌞you gave⌟ me. Through it you gave me hope.
Those who fear you will see me and rejoice, because my hope is based on your word.
My soul is weak from waiting for you to save me. My hope is based on your word.
Many are saying about me, “Even with God ⌞on his side⌟, he won’t be victorious.” Selah
With a shattering blow to my bones, my enemies taunt me. They ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”
I praise God’s word. I trust God. I am not afraid. What can mere flesh ⌞and blood⌟ do to me?
Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad so that I can answer anyone who criticizes me.
They said, “Sir, we remember how that deceiver said while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will be brought back to life.’
So have courage, men! I trust God that everything will turn out as he told me.
