Psalm 57:1-3

“Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on
me, for in you my soul takes refuge I will
take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.
I cry out to God Most High, to God, who
fulfills his purpose for me.
He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me;
Selah God sends his love and his
faithfulness.”

“ Then Christ would have had to suffer many
times since the creation of the world. But now
he has appeared once for all at the end of the
ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of

Just as man is destined to die once, and after
that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed
once to take away the sins of many people; and
he will appear a second time, not to bear sin,
but to bring salvation to those who are waiting
for him.”
