Psalm 38:19
English Standard Version
19 But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty,

Acts 4:25-28
English Standard Version
25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant,[a] said by the Holy Spirit,
(A)“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and (B)the rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his (C)Anointed’[b]—
27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your (D)holy servant Jesus, (E)whom you anointed, both (F)Herod and (G)Pontius Pilate, along (H)with the Gentiles and (I)the peoples of Israel, 28 (J)to do whatever your hand and (K)your plan had predestined to take place.

The Hatred of the World
18 (A)“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 (B)If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because (C)you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: (D)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, (E)they will also persecute you. (F)If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But (G)all these things they will do to you (H)on account of my name, (I)because they do not know him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, (J)they would not have been guilty of sin,[a] but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 (K)Whoever hates me hates my Father also. 24 (L)If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, (M)they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have (N)seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But (O)the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: (P)‘They hated me without a cause.’
