then I can answer anyone who taunts me, for I trust in your word.
I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.
May those who fear you rejoice when they see me, for I have put my hope in your word.
My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.
Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”
My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?
Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart; then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.
“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’
So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.
