¹ An Ode of a Psalm for the sons of Kore. For the conclusion. On the responsive Maeleth. On understanding. By Aiman the Israelite. LORD God of my salvation, before thee I have cried day and night. ² Let my prayer come before thee, incline, Lord, thine ear to my supplication; ³ for my soul is full of trouble, and my life draweth near to the mansion of the dead. ⁴ I was counted with them who are going down to the pit; I became like a man who is past recovery; ⁵ like one set free among the dead; like the prostrate slain, asleep in the grave, whom thou hast no more remembered. Though they were cast off out of thy hand, ⁶ they laid me in the lowest pit; in dark places and in the shade of death. ⁷ On me thy wrath was pressed hard, and all thy billows thou didst bring upon me. ⁸ Thou hast removed far from me my acquaintance, they accounted me an abomination to them. I was delivered up and did not go abroad; ⁹ mine eyes were weakened by affliction. To thee, Lord, I cried all the day long: to thee I stretched forth my hands. ¹⁰ Wilt thou work wonders among the dead? Or can physicians raise them up to praise thee? ¹¹ Can any in the grave declare thy kindness?; Or thy faithfulness, in destruction? ¹² Can thy wonders be known in darkness; Or thy saving mercy, in the land of forgetfulness? ¹³ As for me, I have cried to thee, Lord, and in the morning my prayers shall be before thee. ¹⁴ Lord, why rejectest thou my prayer; why turnest thou away thy face from me? ¹⁵ I am afflicted and in troubles from my youth: though raised high I have been humbled and distressed. ¹⁶ Thy resentments have come upon me; and thy terrors have quite confounded me: ¹⁷ they have encompassed me like water: all the day long they begirt me at once. ¹⁸ Thou hast removed a friend far from me, my acquaintance also, because of misery.

² that some person would weigh my passion: and poise in a balance against it, my calamities. ³ But these would outweigh the sand of the sea, though you seem to think my words too vehement: ⁴ for the arrows of the Lord are in my body, the fury of which drinketh up my blood: when I attempt to speak they pierce me.

²² When his soul hath come near to death, and his life near to the mansion of the dead,

¹¹ stand not at a distance from me; for trouble is near; for there is no helper. ¹² Many bulls have encompassed me; fat bulls have beset me around. ¹³ Against me they have opened their mouth, like a ravening and roaring lion. ¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all my bones are torn asunder: my heart within me is melted like wax. ¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; thou hast indeed brought me to the dust of death. ¹⁶ Because many dogs have encompassed me, an assembly of wicked men have beset me; have pierced my hands and my feet; ¹⁷ have counted all my bones, and have stared and looked at me; ¹⁸ they have parted my garments among them, and for my vesture have cast lots; ¹⁹ Therefore, Lord, delay not thou my help, draw near to my assistance; ²⁰ rescue my soul from the sword; this only begotten of mine from the paw of a dog. ²¹ Save me from the mouth of a lion, and this lowliness of mine from the unicorn's horns.

¹⁷ Turn not away thy face from thy servant; because I am in distress, hear me speedily. ¹⁸ Draw near to my soul and redeem it; deliver me, because of mine enemies. ¹⁹ For thou knowest my reproach, and my shame and my confusion; all mine adversaries are before thee. ²⁰ My soul expected reproach and misery. I waited for a condoler, but there was none; for a comforter, but none could I find. ²¹ They indeed have given me gall for my food, and for my thirst, have made me drink vinegar.

² In the day of my affliction I sought God with my hands in the night before him; and I was not disappointed. My soul had refused to be comforted;

¹⁴ Lord, why rejectest thou my prayer; why turnest thou away thy face from me? ¹⁵ I am afflicted and in troubles from my youth: though raised high I have been humbled and distressed.

¹⁸ Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.

²⁶ they mount up to the heavens: then down they descend into the depths; with perils, their souls are melted;

³ Because the enemy hath earnestly sought my life; hath humbled my life to the ground; hath caused me to sit in dark places, like them who have been long dead; ⁴ therefore my spirit was overwhelmed with grief; my heart within me was troubled and

³ but his appearance is mean and defective beyond the sons of men. Being a man in affliction and acquainted with grief, because his countenance was dejected, he was despised and disesteemed.

¹⁰ and the Lord determined to purify him from this stroke: when his soul shall be given up for a sin offering; of you he shall see a seed which shall prolong their days. ¹¹ More over it is the determination of the Lord to remove him from the trouble of his soul; to shew him light and fashion him for knowledge; to justify the Righteous One who is serving many well, when he shall bear away their sins;

¹⁵ He glutted me with worm wood; he gave me a large draught of gall, ¹⁶ and broke my teeth with gravel. He drenched me with ashes. ¹⁷ He removed my soul far from peace. I forgot prosperity; ¹⁸ so my strength was destroyed and the hope which I had from the Lord. ¹⁹ I recollected because of mine affliction. When by reason of persecution, my bitterness and gall shall be remembered;

³⁷ And having taken with him Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be in an agony of grief and distress. ³⁸ Whereupon he saith to them, My soul is overwhelmed with anguish 9 even to death.

Nevertheless not as I would, but as thou wiliest.

³³ Then he taketh with him Peter, and James and John, and being seized with agonizing horror and distress of mind, ³⁴ he saith to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even to death. Stay here and watch.

¹ I am dying with a tortured spirit, and wishing for a burial, but do not obtain it.

¹ A Psalm of David. To thee, Lord, I have cried: O my God, pass me not by in silence. Shouldst thou pass me by in silence: I shall be like them who go down to the pit.

⁹ what profit is there in my blood; by my going down to corruption? Can dust celebrate thy praise; or can it proclaim thy truth?

¹² like a dead man out of mind I was quite forgotten: I became like a broken vessel.

²² for I am afflicted and needy; and my heart is troubled within me. ²³ Like a declining shadow I have glided away; I have been shaken off like locusts. ²⁴ My knees are weakened by fasting; and my flesh is changed for want of oil.

⁷ Hear me speedily, Lord; my spirit hath failed. Turn not away thy face from me; nor let me be like them who go down to the pit.

¹⁸ For those in the mansion of the dead cannot praise thee; nor can the dead return thee thanks, nor they in Hades hope for thy kindness.

²⁰ And I will press thee down to them who go down to the pit, to the people of old; and make thee dwell in the depths of the earth; in an everlasting desert, with them who go down to the pit; that thou mayst never be rebuilt nor rise again in the land of life.

⁶ I have gone down to a land, the bars of which are everlastingly fixed: let my soul now, corrupted as it is, ascend, Lord, my God.

⁶ For while we were yet without strength, Christ In due time died for the ungodly:

⁹ but had in ourselves the sentence of death, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead,

⁴ For though from weakness he was crucified, yet by the power of God he is alive, therefore though we are weak in him, yet by the power of God we will be alive with him for you.

¹ Now God had remembered Noe and all the beasts and all the cattle and all the fowls and all the reptiles which creep, even all that were with him in the ark; and God brought a wind over the earth and aswaged the water.

²⁹ But when God destroyed all the cities of that neighbourhood he remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out from that destruction. Now when the Lord had destroyed those cities in which Lot had dwelt,

⁹ Let the Lord, having begun, wound me, but not utterly destroy me.

¹⁰ Now were he to overturn all these, who could say to him what hast thou done?

²² As for me, on my surprisal I said, I am cast far from thy presence; therefore thou, Lord, didst hear the voice of my supplication when I cried to thee.

¹⁶ Thy resentments have come upon me; and thy terrors have quite confounded me:

²³ because in our affliction the Lord remembered us; for his mercy endureth forever;

⁹ Hades from beneath was in uproar to meet thee; for thee were roused all the giants who had ruled the earth. Having roused from their thrones all the kings of nations, ¹⁰ they will all accost thee saying, "And art thou caught as we have been? And among us art thou enrolled? ¹¹ Is thy pomp come down to Hades; all thy great festivity?" Beneath thee they will strew corruption for a bed; and Worms shall be thy covering. ¹² How is Lucifer fallen from heaven! He who was harbinger of the morning; he who sent messages to all the nations is trampled down into the earth.

¹⁰ I said in the height of my days I shall go down to the gates of Hades, I shall leave the years which remain. ¹¹ I said, I shall no more see the salvation of God in the land of the living; I shall no more see the salvation of Israel on the earth; I shall behold man no more. ¹² I am cut off from my generation, I have left the remainder of my life. He is gone and departed from me, like one striking a tent, having just pitched it. My soul within me was like a web which the weaver was in act to sever from the loom.

⁸ In this humiliation his legal trial was taken away. Who will declare his manner of life. [J] Because his life is taken from the earth; for the transgressions of my people he is led to death;

¹⁸ Son of man, sing a song of Woe over the strength of Egypt, when the nations shall thrust down her daughters; shall thrust them down dead to the depth of the earth; to them who are going down into the pit; ¹⁹ [Omitted] ²⁰ in the midst of the sword's victims they shall fall with him. When all his power shall be laid to rest; then will the giants say to thee, ²¹ "Down with thee into the lowest pit! excel whom thou mayst, down with thee, and be laid with the uncircumcised, in the midst of the victims of the sword." ²² There lieth Assur and all his assembly; all the victims of the sword are laid there; and their sepulture is in the deep pit; ²³ and around his tomb is his assembly; all the slain who fell by the sword, who made themselves dreaded in the land of life. ²⁴ There lieth Ailam with all his host around his tomb; all the slain who fell by the sword, and went down uncircumcised to the depth of the earth: ²⁵ having made themselves dreaded in the land of life, they have received their punishment with them who go down to the pit amidst the slain. ²⁶ There are deposited Mosoch and Thobel, each with all his host around his tomb; all his slain, all uncircumcised, slain with the sword. Having made themselves dreaded in the land of life ²⁷ they are laid with the giants who fell of old; who went down in their armour to the mansion of the dead, and had their swords placed under their heads; but their iniquities were on their bones; because they were the terror of all during their lives. ²⁸ Thou indeed shalt be in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them who are the victims of the sword. ²⁹ There have been laid the princes of Assur; they, who gave its strength to the wounding sword, are themselves laid to rest with the slain; with them who go down into the pit. ³⁰ There lie the chiefs of the north, all the generals of Assur, who descending wounded, are with their terror and their strength, laid to rest, uncircumcised with the slain of the sword; and have borne their punishment with them who go down to the pit. ³¹ These king Pharao shall see and be comforted for all his host, saith the Lord, Lord. ³² Because I have spread the terror of him over the land of life; therefore he shall be in the midst of the uncircumcised, with the slain of the sword; even Pharao and all his multitude with him, saith the Lord, Lord.

²² Since a fire is kindled because of my wrath, It shall burn down to the lowest Hades; It shall consume the land, and the products thereof; It shall set on fire the foundations of mountains:

² and brought me up from a horrible pit and from miry clay; and set my feet on a rock and directed my steps,

¹⁵ Let not a flood of water overwhelm me, nor a whirlpool swallow me up, nor a pit shut its mouth upon me.

¹³ For thy mercy to me hath been great; thou hast delivered my soul from the deepest mansion of the dead.

¹ A Song of the steps. Out of depths to thee, Lord, I cried;

³ Because the enemy hath earnestly sought my life; hath humbled my life to the ground; hath caused me to sit in dark places, like them who have been long dead;

¹⁹ But the ways of the wicked being dark; they know not at what they stumble.

² against me. He hath seized me and dragged me into darkness and there is no light.

⁵⁵ I called on thy name, O Lord, out of the deepest dungeon.

⁴⁶ I being light am come into the world, that whoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness.

⁶ and the angels who did not keep their own government, but left their proper abode, he hath reserved in perpetual bonds, under darkness, for the judgment of the great day.

¹³ raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the gloom of everlasting darkness.

⁴ for the arrows of the Lord are in my body, the fury of which drinketh up my blood: when I attempt to speak they pierce me.

¹⁶ And if I be righteous, I cannot hold up my head, for I am full of ignominy. For I am hunted as a lion for slaughter. For turning again furiously thou destroyest me.

⁴ Because day and night thy hand was heavy on me, I was reduced to misery by a piercing thorn.

¹ A Psalm for remembrance, respecting rest. Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath; nor chasten me in thine anger.

⁷ Deep calleth on deep to form thy roaring cataracts; all thy meteors and thy billows passed over me.

⁷ Because we have fallen short by thine anger, and by thine indignation have been troubled;

¹⁰ on account of thine indignation and wrath: [for having lifted me up thou hast dashed me down].

³ thou hast cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea. When streams encompassed me; all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

³⁶ He who believeth in the son, hath an everlasting life; but he who disbelieveth the son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God will abide on him.

⁵ Indeed according to this obduracy, and impenitent heart of thine thou art treasuring up for thyself wrath against a day of the wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who will render to every one according to his works ⁷ to them who by perseverance in well-doing, seek for glory and honour, and incorruption [he will grant] everlasting life; ⁸ but for them who are contentious and disobedient to the truth and in subjection to unrighteousness, there will be indignation and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man who doth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

²⁴ who himself offered up our sins in his own body on the cross, that we, being freed from those sins, might live for righteousness; "by whose stripes you have been healed."

¹⁶ saying to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him who is sitting on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, ¹⁷ for the great day of His wrath is come and who is able to stand?"

¹⁸ So they two made a covenant before the Lord, and David abode at Kaina, and Jonathan returned to his house. ¹⁹ Then the Ziphites went up from the wilderness to Saul, on the mount, and said, Behold doth not David hide himself near us at Messara, at the straits by Kaina, on mount Echala, which is to the right of Jessamon? ²⁰ Now therefore every thing answereth the king's desire to induce him to come down. Come down to us. He is shut into the king's hands.

¹⁴ If he demolish who can rebuild? If he shut against men, who can open?

⁸ I am fenced about and cannot get out. Before me he hath placed darkness.

¹³ My brethren stood aloof from me, they acknowledged strangers rather than me; and my friends were not compassionate. ¹⁴ My nearest relations paid me no attention: and they who knew my name forgot me. ¹⁵ As for my domesticks and maid servants, in their view I was a stranger. ¹⁶ When I called my servant, he did not answer me. ¹⁷ When with my mouth I entreated and supplicated my wife, and called affectionately the children of my concubines: ¹⁸ they renounced me forever. When I insist, they speak against me. ¹⁹ They who saw me, abhorred me; and they whom I loved rose up against me.

¹⁰ and have abhorred me and stood at a distance: and have not spared to spit in my face.

¹¹ among all mine enemies I became a reproach; and to my neighbours especially, and to my acquaintance, a terror. They who saw me abroad fled from me;

¹⁸ Thou hast removed a friend far from me, my acquaintance also, because of misery.

⁴ I looked to the right; and observed that none was there, who knew me. Flight was cut off from me; and is he not earnestly seeking my life?

⁴ therefore my spirit was overwhelmed with grief; my heart within me was troubled and

⁷ Thus saith the Lord who delivered thee; the God of Israel, "Hallow him who despised his life, him who was abhorred by the nations, the slaves of the Arehons. Kings shall see him and chiefs shall rise up and they shall worship him for the sake of the Lord; because the Holy One of Israel is faithful, therefore I have chosen thee.

³ [M] I am full of a country trodden down; and of the nations there is not a man with me. I have trodden them down in my wrath, and crumbled them like dust and shed their blood on the earth.

² When the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremias was confined in the court of the prison which is in the king's house,

⁷ He built up against me so that I cannot get out. He made my chain heavy. ⁸ Though I scream and cry, he shut out my prayer. ⁹ He walled up my ways; he blocked up my paths;

⁸ and remove three shepherds in one month; and my soul will be weighed down against them. For as their souls roared against me,

²¹ So when the governor, addressing them, said, Which of the two do you desire me to release to you? They said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified. ²³ Thereupon the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they with more vehemence cried, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ When Pilate saw that he could not in the least prevail, but that a tumult rather was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am clear from the blood of this innocent person. Look ye to it. ²⁵ Upon which all the people, answering, said, His blood be upon us and upon our children.

⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had issued an order, that if any one knew where he is, he should give information, that they might apprehend him.

²³ He who hateth me, hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them works which no other did, they would not have had sin: but now, though they have seen, they have hated both me and my Father.

¹³ For if thou hast made thy heart pure, and lift thy hands to him:

²⁰ O that my suit could come before the Lord, and that before him mine eye could drop a tear!

⁷ For mine eyes are dim with sorrow, and I am closely besieged by all.

⁷ Mine eye is troubled with indignation: I am grown old among all mine enemies.

¹⁰ My heart panted, my strength failed me: and the light of mine eyes is no more with me.

³ My tears were my food day and night, when they said to me continually, Where is thy God?

²⁰ Have we forgotten the name of our God; or have we stretched out our hands to a strange god? Will not God search out these things,

¹⁷ Evening and morning and at noon I will declare and proclaim; and he will hearken to my voice.

³¹ Ambassadors shall come from Egypt; Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands to God.

¹ An Ode of a Psalm for the sons of Kore. For the conclusion. On the responsive Maeleth. On understanding. By Aiman the Israelite. LORD God of my salvation, before thee I have cried day and night.

⁹ Because I have eaten ashes as bread and have mingled my drink with tears,

⁶ I spread forth my hands to thee; for thee my soul thirsted like land without water.

⁴⁸ Let streams of water be collected by mine eye, for the destruction of the daughter of my people. ⁴⁹ Mine eye is bathed in tears and I cannot keep silence that it may dry,

¹¹ Moreover a word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man say now to this rebellious house, Do you not know the meaning of this?

³⁵ Jesus wept.

⁷ For there is hope for a tree; for if lopped, it may sprout again, and the tender branch may not fail. ⁸ And if its root become old in the earth, or die on a rock: ⁹ its stem by the scent of water may blossom; and produce a crop like a tree lately planted. ¹⁰ But when a man dieth he is gone: when a mortal falleth, he is no more. ¹¹ For in a course of time a sea is spent; and a river when unsupplied is dried up: ¹² and man when composed in the grave cannot rise again; until the heaven be folded up; they shall not be awakened from their sleep.

⁵ For in death none can make mention of thee. In the mansion of the dead, who can give thee thanks?

¹⁷ The dead cannot praise thee, O Lord; nor any who go down to the mansion of the dead:

¹⁷ I shall not die: but live and proclaim the works of the Lord.

¹⁹ [p] The dead shall be raised up again, even they in the tombs shall be raised up: and they in this land shall be filled with joy: for the dew from thee is healing for them; but the land of the ungodly shall fall.

¹⁸ For those in the mansion of the dead cannot praise thee; nor can the dead return thee thanks, nor they in Hades hope for thy kindness. ¹⁹ The living will praise thee even as I do; for from this day I shall raise up children, who will proclaim this loving kindness of thine,

¹ Then the hand of the Lord came upon me. And the Lord led me out in spirit and set me in the midst of a plain which was full of human bones. ² And he led me all around them. And lo! there was an immense quantity on the surface of the plain, and they were very dry. ³ And he said to me, Son of man, shall these bones revive? Whereupon I said, Lord, Lord, thou knowest such things. ⁴ Then he said to me, Prophesy concerning these bones and say to them, Ye bones which are dry, hear a word of the Lord, ⁵ Thus saith the Lord to these bones, Behold I will bring upon you a breath of life; ⁶ and upon you I will lay sinews; and I will bring flesh on you and stretch skin over you, and put my breath in you and you shall live: and you shall know, that I am the Lord. ⁷ So I prophesied as he commanded me, and it came to pass that, when I had prophesied, behold there was a tremulous motion and it brought the bones together, every one to its proper place. ⁸ And I beheld and lo! sinews and flesh were grown upon them, and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. ⁹ Then he said to me, Prophesy to the wind. Prophesy, Son of man and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord, From the four winds, come and blow on these dead and let them live. ¹⁰ So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath came into them and they became alive and stood on their feet, an exceeding great multitude. ¹¹ Then the Lord spoke to me saying, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Now they say, "Our bones are become dry. Our hope is gone. We are wasted to a shadow." ¹² Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold I will open your graves; and bring you up out of your tombs and bring you into the land of Israel, ¹³ and you shall know that I am the Lord. When I have opened your graves that I may bring up my people out of the graves ¹⁴ I will then put my breath in you and you shall live.and I will settle you in your own land; and you shall know that I am the Lord. I have spoken and I will perform, saith the Lord.

³⁵ Now while he was speaking, messengers came from the ruler's house, who said, Thy daughter is dead, why troublest thou the teacher any further? ³⁶ Upon hearing this message delivered, Jesus immediately saith to the ruler of the synagogue,57 Be not afraid. Only believe.

¹² And as he approached the gate of the city, behold the people were carrying out a dead man to be buried; the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And there was a great multitude of the city with her. ¹³ And when the Lord beheld her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not. ¹⁴ Then he advanced and touched the bier, [now the bearers had stopped] and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise. ¹⁵ Thereupon he who had been dead, sat up and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. ¹⁶ And a dread fell upon all; and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is risen up among us, and God hath visited his people.

⁵² in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, for it will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruptibility; and this mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ Now when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility; and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the word which is written, "Death is completely swallowed up." ⁵⁵ O death where is thy sting? Where thy victory, O grave? ⁵⁶ Sin is indeed the sting of death; And the law is the strength of sin: ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God who gives us the victory Through our Lord Jesus Christ.

³⁰ Because the wicked is reserved for a day of destruction: let them be carried to prison for the day of his indignation.

⁶ The mansion of the dead is naked before him: and destruction hath no covering.

²³ But thou, O God, wilt drag them down to the pit of destruction. Bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days. But as for me I will trust in thee, Lord.

¹⁸ It is but for their frauds thou hast dealt thus with them. Thou hast overthrown them by their exaltation.!

¹¹ The mansion of the dead, and destruction, are open to the view of the Lord; how much more then the hearts of men!

¹³ Enter in at the strait gate. Because the gate is wide and the way broad which leadeth to destruction, therefore many there are who go in through it:

²² What if God willing to manifest his wrath and make known his power, did with much long suffering, bear with the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,

¹ Now there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be also among you false teachers, who will introduce destructive sects, denying even the Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves speedy destruction.

²¹ before I go, whence I shall not return; ²² to a land dark and gloomy; to a land of everlasting darkness; where there is no light; no seeing the life of mortals.

⁵ like one set free among the dead; like the prostrate slain, asleep in the grave, whom thou hast no more remembered. Though they were cast off out of thy hand,

¹⁶ because there is no remembrance forever of the wise man more than of the fool [seeing the days are now coming when all shall be for gotten and the wise must die as well as the fool]

¹⁰ And I then saw wicked men carried to their graves, even out of this holy place; and when they were gone, they were praised in the city, because they had done as they did. Surely this is vanity.

⁵ because they who are alive must know that they shall die; but the dead are not sensible of any thing and there is no more a portion for them; because the remembrance of these is forgotten,

²² then down on the earth beneath, and lo distress and darkness! tribulation and anguish and a gloom so as not to see!

¹² and the children of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness. Weeping and gnashing of teeth will be there.

³ In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning I will wait on thee and look up.

² O Lord my God, to thee I cried and thou didst heal me.

¹⁴⁷ me; and I will keep thy testimonies. I awoke before the dawn of the morning, and cried; on thy words I placed my hope. ¹⁴⁸ Mine eyes were awake before the morning dawn, that I might

³⁵ And in the morning, when the night was far advanced, he arose and went out, and retired to a solitary place, and there prayed;

²⁴ Why dost thou hide thyself from me and hast accounted me thine adversary?

¹ For the conclusion. A Psalm by David. How long, Lord, wilt thou forget me? For ever? How long wilt thou turn away thy face from me?

² Since thou, God, art my strength, why hast thou cast me off? and why go I mourning, because of mine enemy's oppression?

⁹ And hast thou now cast us off and put us to shame, and wilt not go forth with our armies!

²⁴ Why turnest thou away thy face forgetting our distress and our affliction?

¹⁷ Turn not away thy face from thy servant; because I am in distress, hear me speedily.

⁷ Will the Lord cast off forever, and will he no more be favourable? ⁸ Will he entirely cut off mercy, from generation to generation? ⁹ Will God forget to be gracious? Will he in his anger restrain his compassion?

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried, with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, Lama, Sabachthani, that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

¹¹ For this cause then I will not refrain my mouth: I will speak though I am in anguish: though distressed, I will unfold the bitterness of my soul. ¹² Am I a sea or a dragon, that thou hast set a guard over me? ¹³ Did I say my bed will comfort me; I will converse with myself privately on my bed? ¹⁴ Thou terrifiest me with dreams and affrightest me with visions. ¹⁵ Wilt thou drive away my life from my spirit; and yet keep my bones from death? ¹⁶ For I am not to live forever, that I should bear patiently. Withdraw from me; for my life is vanity.

¹¹ my days have passed in groans, and my very heart strings are broken. ¹² I have put night for day. Is light near on account of darkness? ¹³ For though I have waited patiently, the mansion of the dead is to be my house, and my bed is made in darkness. ¹⁴ I have called on death to be my father; and on corruption to be my sister and mother. ¹⁵ Where then have I any ground of hope? Or shall I see those good things of mine? ¹⁶ Shall they go down with me to the mansion of the dead? Or shall we go together beneath the mound?

¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all my bones are torn asunder: my heart within me is melted like wax. ¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; thou hast indeed brought me to the dust of death.

¹⁴ All the day long I have been scourged; and the accusation against me is renewed every morning.

¹⁰ and the Lord determined to purify him from this stroke: when his soul shall be given up for a sin offering; of you he shall see a seed which shall prolong their days.

⁷ Awake, sword, against my shepherds, and against my chief citizen, saith the Lord Almighty; I will smite the shepherds and the sheep shall be scattered and I will bring my hand on the little ones.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly. And his sweat was like great drops of blood falling on the ground.

¹ A Psalm for remembrance, respecting rest. Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath; nor chasten me in thine anger. ² For in me thy shafts are deeply fixed; and on me thou hast heavily laid thy hand.

⁴⁶ How long, Lord, wilt thou turn away? Shall thy wrath burn like fire forever?

¹¹ whoever knoweth the power of thine anger, be taught, on the account of the terror of thy wrath,

⁴ This man beareth away our sins; and for us he is in sorrow: And we considered him as being in trouble and under a stroke and in affliction. ⁵ But he was wounded for our sins, and afflicted for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him; by his bruises we are healed. ⁶ We all like sheep had strayed; every man wandered in his way: and the Lord delivered him up for our sins:

²⁶ and after the sixty two weeks, the Messiah shall be cut off, though there is no crime in him; and he, with the ruler who is coming, will destroy the city and the sanctuary. They shall be destroyed with a deluge, and even to the end of the war determined on in course, with desolations.

³² He who spared not his own son but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also with him freely grant us all things?

¹³ From this curse of the law Christ hath redeemed us, being made a curse for us; [for it is written, "Cursed, is every one who is suspended on a cross,"]

¹⁷ for the great day of His wrath is come and who is able to stand?"

¹² When I was at peace he broke me up; taking me by the hair he shook me; he set me up as a mark. ¹³ They surrounded me with javelins, darting them into my reins; without mercy they poured my gall on the ground.

¹⁴ he hath used me at his pleasure. I am become loathsome by sorrows. ¹⁵ My sorrows roll back upon me. My hope is gone like a breath, and like a cloud, my safety.

¹⁶ Because many dogs have encompassed me, an assembly of wicked men have beset me; have pierced my hands and my feet;

¹ For the conclusion. Respecting them who are to be changed. By David. Save me, God; for waters have broken in on my soul. ² I am sunk down into deep mire, and there is no support beneath. I am come into the depth of the sea, and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.

³ The pangs of death encompassed me; the perils of Hades found me: I met with distress and sorrow:

¹⁰ All the nations compassed me about: but by the name of the Lord I was avenged of them. ¹¹ Compassing me about they beset me, but by the name of the Lord I was avenged of them. ¹² They encompassed me as bees do a honey comb: and blazed furiously like fire among thorns; but by the name of the Lord I was avenged of them.

⁴ the water might have overwhelmed us. Our soul hath passed through a torrent.

⁵ He built up against me and encompassed my head and afflicted it with pain: ⁶ in dark mansions he placed me like the dead of old. ⁷ He built up against me so that I cannot get out. He made my chain heavy.

³⁹ And they who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou the demolisher of the temple and the rebuilder of it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ In like manner also the chief priests, and the Scribes, and the elders, deriding him, said, ⁴² He saved others; cannot he save himself? If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and We will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let him now deliver him, if he delighteth in him: for, he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ Nay, even the robbers, who were crucified with him, upbraided him in the same manner.

¹² With one consent his troops fell upon me; they who were in ambush beset my ways. ¹³ My brethren stood aloof from me, they acknowledged strangers rather than me; and my friends were not compassionate. ¹⁴ My nearest relations paid me no attention: and they who knew my name forgot me. ¹⁵ As for my domesticks and maid servants, in their view I was a stranger.

¹¹ My friends and my neighbours stood over against me: they drew near and stopt; even my near relations stood aloof.

⁸ Thou hast removed far from me my acquaintance, they accounted me an abomination to them. I was delivered up and did not go abroad;
