30But on the next day, wanting to discover more diligently what the reason was that he was accused by the Jews, he released him, and he ordered the priests to convene, with the entire council. And, producing Paul, he stationed him among them.
1The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you. 2I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.” 3As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them. 4Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember their names with my lips. 5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me. 6The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me. 7I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night. 8I have made provision for the Lord always in my sight. For he is at my right hand, so that I may not be disturbed. 9Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope. 10For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption. 11You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy by your countenance. At your right hand are delights, even to the end.
20But I am not praying for them only, but also for those who through their word shall believe in me. 21So may they all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you, so also may they be one in us: so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22And the glory that you have given to me, I have given to them, so that they may be one, just as we also are one. 23I am in them, and you are in me. So may they be perfected as one. And may the world know that you have sent me and that you have loved them, just as you have also loved me. 24Father, I will that where I am, those whom you have given to me may also be with me, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me. For you loved me before the founding of the world. 25Father most just, the world has not known you. But I have known you. And these have known that you sent me. 26And I have made known your name to them, and I will make it known, so that the love in which you have loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.”
