Leviticus 2:4-5

4 “When you bring a grain offering baked in the oven as an offering, it shall be ^eunleavened loaves of fine flour mixed with oil or unleavened wafers smeared with oil. 5 And if your offering is a grain offering ^fbaked on a griddle, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mixed with oil.

Leviticus 2:15-16

Psalms 22:1-21

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

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

1 ^lMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so ^mfar from saving me, from the words of my ⁿgroaning?
2 O my God, I cry by ^oday, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are ^pholy,
^qenthroned on ^rthe praises ^{▼▼Or dwelling in the praises} of Israel.
4 In you our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 To you they ^tcried and were rescued;
in you they ^utrusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am ^va worm and not a man,
^wscorned by mankind and ^xdespised by the people.
7 All who see me ^ymock me;
they make mouths at me; they ^zwag their heads;
8 ^aa“He trusts in the Lord; let him ^abdeliver him;
let him rescue him, for he ^acdelights in him!”
9 Yet you are he who ^adtook 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 ^aemy mother’s womb you have been my God.
11 Be not ^affar from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is ^agnone to help.
12 Many bulls encompass me;
^ahstrong bulls of ^aiBashan surround me;
13 they ^ajopen wide their mouths at me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.
14 I am ^akpoured out like water,
and all my bones are ^alout of joint;
my ^amheart is like ^anwax;
it is melted within my breast;
15 my strength is ^aodried up like a potsherd,
and my ^aptongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16 For ^aqdogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers ^arencircles me;
they have ^aspierced 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 ^austare and gloat over me;
18 ^avthey divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
19 But you, O Lord, ^awdo not be far off!
O you my help, ^axcome quickly to my aid!
20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of ^aythe dog!
21 Save me from ^azthe mouth of the lion!
You have rescued ^{▼▼Hebrew answered} me from the horns of ^bbthe wild oxen!

Psalms 69:1-21

Save Me, O God

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

1 Save me, O God!
For ^bdthe waters have come up to my neck. ^{▼▼Or waters threaten my life}
2 I sink in deep ^bfmire,
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood ^bgsweeps over me.
3 ^bhI am weary with my crying out;
^bimy throat is parched.
^bjMy eyes grow dim
with ^bkwaiting for my God.
4 ^blMore in number than the hairs of my head
are ^bmthose who hate me ^bnwithout cause;
mighty are those who would destroy me,
^bothose 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 ^bpbe 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 ^bqfor your sake that I have borne reproach,
that dishonor has covered my face.
8 I have become ^bra stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my mother’s sons.
9 For ^bszeal for your house has consumed me,
and ^btthe 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 ^bvsackcloth my clothing,
I became ^bwa byword to them.
12 I am the talk of those who ^bxsit in the gate,
and the drunkards make ^bysongs about me.
13 But as for me, my ^bzprayer is to you, O Lord.
At ^caan acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
14 Deliver me
from sinking in ^cbthe mire;
^cclet me be delivered from my enemies
and from ^cdthe deep waters.
15 Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swallow me up,
or ^cethe pit close ^cfits mouth over me.
16 Answer me, O Lord, for your ^cgsteadfast love is good;
according to your abundant ^chmercy, ^citurn to me.
17 ^cjHide not your face from your servant,
^ckfor I am in distress; ^clmake haste to answer me.
18 Draw near to my soul, redeem me;
ransom me because of my enemies!
19 You know my ^cmreproach,
and my shame and my dishonor;
my foes are all known to you.
20 ^cnReproaches have broken my heart,
so that I am in ^codespair.
I ^cplooked for ^cqpity, but there was none,
and for ^crcomforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me ^cspoison for food,
and for my thirst they gave me ^ctsour wine to drink.

Isaiah 53:2-10

2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
^cuand like a root out of dry ground;
^cvhe had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 ^cwHe 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 ^dcwe esteemed him not.
4 ^ddSurely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
^desmitten by God, and afflicted.
5 ^dfBut he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
^dgand with his wounds we are healed.
6 ^dhAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^diand the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
^djyet he opened not his mouth;
^dklike a ^dllamb 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, ^dmwho 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
^dnand with a rich man in his death,
although ^dohe had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet ^dpit was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief; ^{▼▼Or he has made him sick}
^drwhen his soul makes ^{▼▼Or when you make his soul} an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
^dtthe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
