(I swore, and steadfastly purposed, to obey thy righteous judgements. ) I am made low by all things; Lord, quicken thou me by thy word. (I am brought down so very low, that is, I am greatly afflicted; Lord, grant thou me life according to thy word. ) Lord, make thou well pleasing the willful things of my mouth; and teach thou me thy dooms. (Lord, accept thou the willing offerings, or the tributes, from my mouth; and teach thou me thy judgements. ) My soul is ever[more] in mine hands; and I forgat not thy law. (My life is in my hands forevermore/My life is always in my hands; yet I never forget thy Law. ) Sinners setted a snare to me; and I erred not from thy commandments.

Can we have confidence in the Bible?

Earliest Manuscript 125 AD John 18: 31 -33 (NIVUK) 31 Pilate said, Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law. But we have no right to execute anyone, the Jews objected. 32 This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken indicating the kind of death he was going to die would be ΟΙ ΙΟΥΔΑΙΟΙ ΗΜΙΝ ΟΥΚ ΕΞΕΣΤΙΝ fulfilled. ΑΠΟΚΤΕΙΝΑΙ OYΔΕΝΑ ΙΝΑ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ ΤΟΥ 33 Pilate then went back ΙΗΣΟΥ ΠΛΗΡΩΘΗ ΟΝ ΕΙ- ΠΕΝ ΣHΜΑΙΝΩΝ ΠΟΙΩ ΘΑΝΑΤΩ ΗΜΕΛΛΕΝ ΑΠΟ- ΘΝHΣΚΕΙΝ inside the palace, summoned ΕΙΣΗΛΘΕΝ ΟΥΝ ΠΑΛΙΝ ΕΙΣ ΤΟ ΠΡΑΙΤΩΡΙΟΝJesus Ο ΠIΛΑΤΟΣ ΕΦΩΝΗΣΕΝ andΚΑΙ asked him, ΤΟΝ Are ΙΗΣΟΥΝ ΚΑΙ ΕΙΠΕΝ ΑΥΤΩ ΣΥ ΕΙ O ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ you the king of the Jews? ΤΩΝ ΙΟΥ- ΔAΙΩN
