Psalm 64
English Standard Version
Hide Me from the Wicked
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
64 Hear my voice, O God, in my (A)complaint;
preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from (B)the secret plots of the wicked,
from the throng of evildoers,
3 who (C)whet their tongues like swords,
who (D)aim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from (E)ambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and (F)without fear.
5 They (G)hold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of (H)laying snares secretly,
thinking, (I)“Who can see them?”
6 They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For (J)the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.
Matthew 26:3-4
English Standard Version
3 (A)Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in (B)the palace of the high priest, whose name was (C)Caiaphas, 4 (D)and plotted together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

English Standard Version
59 Now the chief priests and the whole council[a] (A)were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, 60 but they found none, (B)though many false witnesses came forward. At last (C)two came forward 61 and said, “This man said, (D)‘I am able to (E)destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.’” 62 And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?”[b] 63 (F)But Jesus remained silent. (G)And the high priest said to him, (H)“I adjure you by (I)the living God, (J)tell us if you are (K)the Christ, (L)the Son of God.” 64 Jesus said to him, (M)“You have said so. But I tell you, from now on (N)you will see the Son of Man (O)seated at the right hand of Power and (P)coming on the clouds of heaven.” 65 Then the high priest (Q)tore his robes and said, (R)“He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy. 66 What is your judgment?” They answered, (S)“He deserves death.” 67 Then (T)they spit in his face (U)and (V)struck him. And some slapped him, 68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you (W)Christ! Who is it that struck you?”

19 For this is a gracious thing, when, (A)mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But (B)if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 For (C)to this you have been called, (D)because Christ also suffered for you, (E)leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 (F)He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 (G)When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, (H)but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
