Here is what Israel should say. Suppose the Lord had not been on our side.Suppose the Lord had not been on our side when our enemies attacked us.

Lord, I have cried out to you. Don’t let me be put to shame. But let sinners be put to shame. Let them lie silent in the place of the dead.

Lord my God, look at me and answer me. Give me new life, or I will die.

I was pushed back and about to be killed. But the Lord helped me.

Dead people don’t praise the Lord. Those who lie quietly in the grave don’t praise him.

Look and see that no one is on my right side to help me. No one is concerned about me. I have no place of safety. No one cares whether I live or die.Lord, I cry out to you. I say,“ You are my place of safety. You are everything I need in this life.”

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. They will always be secure. They will last forever.

The first time I was put on trial, no one came to help me. Everyone deserted me. I hope they will be forgiven for it.The Lord stood at my side. He gave me the strength to preach the whole message. Then all the Gentiles heard it. I was saved from the lion’s mouth.

Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the hard times we had in Asia Minor. We were having a lot of trouble. It was far more than we could stand. We even thought we were going to die.In fact, we felt as if we were under the sentence of death. But that happened so that we would not depend on ourselves but on God. He raises the dead to life.God has saved us from deadly dangers. And he will continue to do it. We have put our hope in him. He will continue to save us.
