Psalms 22:1-30

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

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

1 ^dMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so ^efar from saving me, from the words of my ^fgroaning?
2 O my God, I cry by ^gday, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are ^hholy,
ⁱenthroned on ^jthe praises ^{▼▼Or dwelling in the praises} of Israel.
4 In you our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 To you they ^lcried and were rescued;
in you they ^mtrusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am ⁿa worm and not a man,
^oscorned by mankind and ^pdespised by the people.
7 All who see me ^qmock me;
they make mouths at me; they ^rwag their heads;
8 ^s“He trusts in the Lord; let him ^tdeliver him;
let him rescue him, for he ^udelights in him!”
9 Yet you are he who ^vtook me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts.
10 On you was I cast from my birth,
and from ^wmy mother’s womb you have been my God.
11 Be not ^xfar from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is ^ynone to help.
12 Many bulls encompass me;
^zstrong bulls of ^aaBashan surround me;
13 they ^abopen wide their mouths at me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.
14 I am ^acpoured out like water,
and all my bones are ^adout of joint;
my ^aeheart is like ^afwax;
it is melted within my breast;
15 my strength is ^agdried up like a potsherd,
and my ^ahtongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16 For ^aidogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers ^ajencircles me;
they have ^akpierced 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 ^amstare and gloat over me;
18 ^anthey divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
19 But you, O Lord, ^aodo not be far off!
O you my help, ^apcome quickly to my aid!
20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of ^aqthe dog!
21 Save me from ^arthe mouth of the lion!
You have rescued ^{▼▼Hebrew answered} me from the horns of ^atthe wild oxen!
22 ^auI will tell of your name to my ^avbrothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
23 You who ^awfear the Lord, praise him!
All you offspring of Jacob, ^axglorify him,
and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
24 For he has not despised or abhorred
the affliction of ^aythe afflicted,
and he has not ^azhidden his face from him,
but has heard, when he ^bacried to him.
25 From you comes my praise in the great ^bbcongregation;
my ^bcvows I will ^bdperform before those who fear him.
26 ^beThe afflicted ^{▼▼Or The meek} shall ^bgeat and be satisfied;
those who seek him shall praise the Lord!
May your hearts ^bhlive forever!
27 All ^bithe ends of the earth shall remember
and turn to the Lord,
and all ^bjthe families of the nations
shall worship before you.
28 For ^bkkingship belongs to the Lord,
and he rules over the nations.
29 All ^blthe prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
before him shall ^bmbow all who go down to the dust,
even the one who could not ^bnkeep himself alive.
30 Posterity shall serve him;
it shall be told of the Lord to the coming ^bogeneration;

Psalms 69

Save Me, O God

To the choirmaster: according to ^bpLilies. Of David.

1 Save me, O God!
For ^bqthe waters have come up to my neck. ^{▼▼Or waters threaten my life}
2 I sink in deep ^bsmire,
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood ^btsweeps over me.
3 ^buI am weary with my crying out;
^bvmy throat is parched.
^bwMy eyes grow dim
with ^bxwaiting for my God.
4 ^byMore in number than the hairs of my head
are ^bzthose who hate me ^cawithout cause;
mighty are those who would destroy me,
^cbthose who attack me with lies.
What I did not steal
must I now restore?
5 O God, you know my folly;
the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
6 Let not those who hope in you ^ccbe put to shame through me,
O Lord God of hosts;
let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,
O God of Israel.
7 For it is ^cdfor your sake that I have borne reproach,
that dishonor has covered my face.
8 I have become ^cea stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my mother’s sons.
9 For ^cfzeal for your house has consumed me,
and ^cgthe reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
10 When I wept and humbled ^{▼▼Hebrew lacks and humbled} my soul with fasting,
it became my reproach.
11 When I made ^cisackcloth my clothing,
I became ^cja byword to them.
12 I am the talk of those who ^cksit in the gate,
and the drunkards make ^clsongs about me.
13 But as for me, my ^cmprayer is to you, O Lord.
At ^cnan acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
14 Deliver me
from sinking in ^cothe mire;
^cplet me be delivered from my enemies
and from ^cqthe deep waters.
15 Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swallow me up,
or ^crthe pit close ^csits mouth over me.
16 Answer me, O Lord, for your ^ctsteadfast love is good;
according to your abundant ^cumercy, ^cvturn to me.
17 ^cwHide not your face from your servant,
^cxfor I am in distress; ^cymake haste to answer me.
18 Draw near to my soul, redeem me;
ransom me because of my enemies!
19 You know my ^czreproach,
and my shame and my dishonor;
my foes are all known to you.
20 ^daReproaches have broken my heart,
so that I am in ^dbdespair.
I ^dclooked for ^ddpity, but there was none,
and for ^decomforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me ^dfpoison for food,
and for my thirst they gave me ^dgsour wine to drink.
22 ^dhLet their own ^ditable before them become a snare;
^djand 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 ^dlLet their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,
^dmand make their loins tremble continually.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them,
and let your burning anger overtake them.
25 ^dnMay their camp be a desolation;
let no one dwell in their tents.
26 For they ^dopersecute him whom ^dpyou have struck down,
and they recount the pain of ^dqthose you have wounded.
27 ^drAdd to them punishment upon punishment;
may they have no acquittal from you. ^{▼▼Hebrew may they not come into your righteousness}
28 Let them be ^dtblotted out of the book of the living;
let them not be ^duenrolled among the righteous.
29 But I am afflicted and in pain;
let your salvation, O God, ^dvset me on high!
30 I will ^dwpraise the name of God with a song;
I will ^dxmagnify him with ^dythanksgiving.
31 This will ^dzplease the Lord more than an ox
or a bull ^eawith horns and hoofs.
32 When ^ebthe humble see it they will be glad;
you who seek God, ^eclet your hearts revive.
33 For the Lord hears the needy
and ^eddoes not despise his own people who are prisoners.
34 Let ^eeheaven and earth praise him,
the seas and everything that moves in them.
35 For ^efGod will save Zion
and build up the cities of Judah,
and people shall dwell there and possess it;
36 ^egthe offspring of his servants shall inherit it,
and those who love his name shall dwell in it.

Isaiah 50:6

6 ^ehI gave my back to those who strike,
and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
I hid not my face
from disgrace and spitting.

Isaiah 53

1 ^eiWho has believed what he has heard from us? ^{▼▼Or Who has believed what we have heard?}
And to whom has ^ekthe arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
^eland like a root out of dry ground;
^emhe had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 ^enHe was despised and rejected ^{▼▼Or forsaken} by men,
a man of sorrows, ^{▼▼Or pains; also verse 4} and acquainted with ^{▼▼Or and knowing} grief; ^{▼▼Or sickness; also verse 4}
and as one from whom men hide their faces ^{▼▼Or as one who hides his face from us}
he was despised, and ^etwe esteemed him not.
4 ^euSurely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
^evsmitten by God, and afflicted.
5 ^ewBut he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
^exand with his wounds we are healed.
6 ^eyAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^ezand the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
^fayet he opened not his mouth;
^fblike a ^fclamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, ^fdwho considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
^feand with a rich man in his death,
although ^ffhe had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet ^fgit was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief; ^{▼▼Or he has made him sick}
^fiwhen his soul makes ^{▼▼Or when you make his soul} an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
^fkthe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see ^{▼▼Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll he shall see light} and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall ^fmthe righteous one, my servant,
^fnmake many to be accounted righteous,
^foand he shall bear their iniquities.
12 ^fpTherefore I will divide him a portion with the many, ^{▼▼Or with the great}
^frand he shall divide the spoil with the strong, ^{▼▼Or with the numerous}
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
^ftyet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Daniel 9:26

26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall ^fube cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come ^fvshall destroy the city and the sanctuary. ^fwIts ^{▼▼Or His} end shall come with a flood, ^fyand to the end there shall be war. ^fzDesolations are decreed.

Zechariah 12:10

Him Whom They Have Pierced

10 “And ^gaI will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and ^gbpleas for mercy, so that, ^gcwhen they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, ^gdthey shall mourn for him, ^geas one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.

Genesis 3:15
