50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.(A)

51 At that moment the curtain of the temple(B) was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split(C) 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[a] went into the holy city(D) and appeared to many people.

54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding(E) Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”(F)

  1. Matthew 27:53 Or tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they

50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

When I am afraid,(A) I put my trust in you.(B)
    In God, whose word I praise—(C)
in God I trust and am not afraid.(D)
    What can mere mortals do to me?(E)

All day long they twist my words;(F)
    all their schemes are for my ruin.
They conspire,(G) they lurk,
    they watch my steps,(H)
    hoping to take my life.(I)
Because of their wickedness do not[a] let them escape;(J)
    in your anger, God, bring the nations down.(K)

Record my misery;
    list my tears on your scroll[b](L)
    are they not in your record?(M)
Then my enemies will turn back(N)
    when I call for help.(O)
    By this I will know that God is for me.(P)

10 In God, whose word I praise,
    in the Lord, whose word I praise—
11 in God I trust and am not afraid.
    What can man do to me?

12 I am under vows(Q) to you, my God;
    I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered me from death(R)
    and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
    in the light of life.(S)

  2. Psalm 56:8 Or misery; / put my tears in your wineskin

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

10 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.

11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
