'Saying' in the Bible

Many are saying of my soul,“There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah.

Many are saying, “Who will show us any good?”Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord!

All who see me sneer at me;They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,

All who hate me whisper together against me;Against me they devise my hurt, saying,

The righteous will see and fear,And will laugh at him, saying,

They devise injustices, saying,“We are ready with a well-conceived plot”;For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep.

Saying, “God has forsaken him;Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver.”

Saying, “To you I will give the land of CanaanAs the portion of your inheritance,”

The Lord will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying,“Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

For there our captors demanded of us songs,And our tormentors mirth, saying,“Sing us one of the songs of Zion.”
