2Sa 16:11-12, Psa 34:18, 69:20-29, Mar 14:34-36 | ESV | STEP | And David said to Abishai and to all his servants , Behold , my own son seeks my life ; how much more now may this Benjaminite ! Leave him alone , and let him curse , for the Lord has told him to.

11 And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, ^amy own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Leave him alone, and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to. 12 It may be that the Lord will look on the wrong done to me, ^{▼▼Septuagint, Vulgate will look upon my affliction} and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing today.”

Psalms 34:18

18 The Lord is near to ^cthe brokenhearted
and saves ^dthe crushed in spirit.

Psalms 69:20-29

20 ^eReproaches have broken my heart,
so that I am in ^fdespair.
I ^glooked for ^hpity, but there was none,
and for ⁱcomforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me ^jpoison for food,
and for my thirst they gave me ^ksour wine to drink.
22 ^lLet their own ^mtable before them become a snare;
ⁿand when they are at peace, let it become a trap. ^{▼▼Hebrew; a slight revocalization yields (compare Septuagint, Syriac, Jerome) a snare, and retribution and a trap}
23 ^pLet their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,
^qand make their loins tremble continually.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them,
and let your burning anger overtake them.
25 ^rMay their camp be a desolation;
let no one dwell in their tents.
26 For they ^spersecute him whom ^tyou have struck down,
and they recount the pain of ^uthose you have wounded.
27 ^vAdd to them punishment upon punishment;
may they have no acquittal from you. ^{▼▼Hebrew may they not come into your righteousness}
28 Let them be ^xblotted out of the book of the living;
let them not be ^yenrolled among the righteous.
29 But I am afflicted and in pain;
let your salvation, O God, ^zset me on high!

Mark 14:34-36

34 And he said to them, ^aa“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and ^abwatch.” ^{▼▼Or keep awake; also verses 37, 38} 35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground ^adand prayed that, if it were possible, ^aethe hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, ^af“Abba, Father, ^agall things are possible for you. Remove ^ahthis cup from me. ^aiYet not what I will, but what you will.”
