Psalms 22:1-2

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.

1 ^gMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so ^hfar from saving me, from the words of my ⁱgroaning?
2 O my God, I cry by ^jday, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.

Psalms 22:12-21

12 Many bulls encompass me;
^kstrong bulls of ^lBashan surround me;
13 they ^mopen wide their mouths at me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.
14 I am ⁿpoured out like water,
and all my bones are ^oout of joint;
my ^pheart is like ^qwax;
it is melted within my breast;
15 my strength is ^rdried up like a potsherd,
and my ^stongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16 For ^tdogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers ^uencircles me;
they have ^vpierced my hands and feet ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts like a lion [they are at] my hands and feet}—
17 I can count all my bones—
they ^xstare and gloat over me;
18 ^ythey divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
19 But you, O Lord, ^zdo not be far off!
O you my help, ^aacome quickly to my aid!
20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of ^abthe dog!
21 Save me from ^acthe mouth of the lion!
You have rescued ^{▼▼Hebrew answered} me from the horns of ^aethe wild oxen!

Psalms 40:1-3

My Help and My Deliverer

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 I ^afwaited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and ^agheard my cry.
2 He drew me up from ^ahthe pit of destruction,
out of ^aithe miry bog,
and ^ajset my feet upon a rock,
^akmaking my steps secure.
3 He put ^ala new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will ^amsee and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.

Psalms 69:14-18

14 Deliver me
from sinking in ^anthe mire;
^aolet me be delivered from my enemies
and from ^apthe deep waters.
15 Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swallow me up,
or ^aqthe pit close ^arits mouth over me.
16 Answer me, O Lord, for your ^assteadfast love is good;
according to your abundant ^atmercy, ^auturn to me.
17 ^avHide not your face from your servant,
^awfor I am in distress; ^axmake haste to answer me.
18 Draw near to my soul, redeem me;
ransom me because of my enemies!

Psalms 88

I Cry Out Day and Night Before You

A Song. A Psalm of ^aythe Sons of Korah. To the choirmaster: according to ^azMahalath Leannoth. A Maskil ^{▼▼Probably musical or liturgical terms} of ^bbHeman the Ezrahite.

1 O Lord, ^bcGod of my salvation,
I ^bdcry out day and night before you.
2 Let my prayer come before you;
^beincline your ear to my cry!
3 For my soul is full of troubles,
and ^bfmy life draws near to ^bgSheol.
4 I am counted among those who ^bhgo down to the pit;
I am a man who has no strength,
5 like one set loose among the dead,
like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom ^biyou remember no more,
for they are ^bjcut off from your hand.
6 You have put me in ^bkthe depths of the pit,
in the ^blregions dark and ^bmdeep.
7 Your wrath ^bnlies heavy upon me,
and you overwhelm me with ^boall your waves. Selah
8 You have caused ^bpmy companions to shun me;
you have made me ^bqa horror ^{▼▼Or an abomination} to them.
I am ^bsshut in so that I cannot escape;
9 ^btmy eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O Lord;
I ^buspread out my hands to you.
10 Do you work wonders for the dead?
^bvDo the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
11 Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12 Are your ^bwwonders known in ^bxthe darkness,
or your righteousness in the land of ^byforgetfulness?
13 But I, O Lord, cry ^bzto you;
^cain the morning my prayer comes before you.
14 O Lord, why ^cbdo you cast my soul away?
Why ^ccdo you hide your face from me?
15 Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
I suffer your terrors; I am helpless. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain}
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
your ^cedreadful assaults destroy me.
17 They ^cfsurround me like a flood ^cgall day long;
they ^chclose in on me together.
18 You have caused ^cimy beloved and my friend to shun me;
my companions have become darkness. ^{▼▼Or darkness has become my only companion}

Psalms 130:1-2

My Soul Waits for the Lord

A Song of ^ckAscents.

1 Out of ^clthe depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
^cmLet your ears be attentive
to ^cnthe voice of my pleas for mercy!
