- as a wonder:
- Kemopaton, "as a prodigy," my low estate:
- my slaying the lion and bear,
- conquering the Philistine,
- escaping the fury of Saul,
- being raised to the throne of Israel,
- enduring such uncommon trials and afflictions,
- and experiencing such wonderful deliverances.
These all mark me out as the subject of "wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong Refuge."

for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts,
which dwelleth in mount Zion.

for a sign which shall be spoken against;
Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they

1 Corinthians 4:9 For
I think that God hath set forth
us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for
we are made a
spectacle unto the world, and
to angels, and to men.
2 Corinthians 4:8-
12 [
We are]
troubled on every side,
yet not distressed; [
we are] perplexed, but
not in despair; ... So then
death worketh in us, but life in you.
2 Corinthians 6:8-
10 By
honour and dishonour, by
evil report and good report:
as deceivers, and [
yet]
true; ... As
sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as
poor, yet
making many rich; as having nothing,
and [
yet] possessing all things.
