Psalm 34:15-22

New International Version

¹⁵The eyes of the Lord^(A) are on the righteous,^(B)
and his ears are attentive^(C) to their cry;
¹⁶but the face of the Lord is against^(D) those who do evil,^(E)
to blot out their name^(F) from the earth.

¹⁷The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears^(G) them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
¹⁸The Lord is close^(H) to the brokenhearted^(I)
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

¹⁹The righteous person may have many troubles,^(J)
but the Lord delivers him from them all;^(K)
²⁰he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.^(L)

²¹Evil will slay the wicked;^(M)
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
²²The Lord will rescue^(N) his servants;
no one who takes refuge^(O) in him will be condemned.

Have the authorities^(B) really concluded that he is the Messiah?^(C) ²⁷But we know where this man is from;^(D) when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”

²⁸Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts,^(E) cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from.^(F) I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true.^(G) You do not know him, ²⁹but I know him^(H) because I am from him and he sent me.”^(I)
