Psalms 16:10-11
10For you will not abandon my soul to aSheol,bor let your choly one see dcorruption. ▼
▼Or see the pit
11 You make known to me fthe path of life;
in your presence there is gfullness of joy;
at your right hand are hpleasures forevermore.
Psalms 22:15-18
15my strength is idried up like a potsherd,and my jtongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16 For kdogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers lencircles me;
they have mpierced my hands and feet ▼
▼Some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts like a lion [they are at] my hands and feet
—17I can count all my bones—
they ostare and gloat over me;
18 pthey divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
Psalms 69:1-21
Save Me, O God
To the choirmaster: according to qLilies. Of David.
1 Save me, O God!For rthe waters have come up to my neck. ▼
▼Or waters threaten my life
2I sink in deep tmire,
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood usweeps over me.
3 vI am weary with my crying out;
wmy throat is parched.
xMy eyes grow dim
with ywaiting for my God.
4 zMore in number than the hairs of my head
are aathose who hate me abwithout cause;
mighty are those who would destroy me,
acthose who attack me with lies.
What I did not steal
must I now restore?
5O God, you know my folly;
the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
6 Let not those who hope in you adbe 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.
7For it is aefor your sake that I have borne reproach,
that dishonor has covered my face.
8I have become afa stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my mother’s sons.
9 For agzeal for your house has consumed me,
and ahthe reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
10When I wept and humbled ▼
▼Hebrew lacks and humbled
my soul with fasting,it became my reproach.
11When I made ajsackcloth my clothing,
I became aka byword to them.
12I am the talk of those who alsit in the gate,
and the drunkards make amsongs about me.
13 But as for me, my anprayer is to you, O Lord.
At aoan acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
14Deliver me
from sinking in apthe mire;
aqlet me be delivered from my enemies
and from arthe deep waters.
15Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swallow me up,
or asthe pit close atits mouth over me.
16 Answer me, O Lord, for your austeadfast love is good;
according to your abundant avmercy, awturn to me.
17 axHide not your face from your servant,
ayfor I am in distress; azmake haste to answer me.
18Draw near to my soul, redeem me;
ransom me because of my enemies!
19 You know my bareproach,
and my shame and my dishonor;
my foes are all known to you.
20 bbReproaches have broken my heart,
so that I am in bcdespair.
I bdlooked for bepity, but there was none,
and for bfcomforters, but I found none.
21They gave me bgpoison for food,
and for my thirst they gave me bhsour wine to drink.
Isaiah 53:3-10
3 biHe 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 bowe esteemed him not.
4 bpSurely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
bqsmitten by God, and afflicted.
5 brBut he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
bsand with his wounds we are healed.
6 btAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
buand the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
bvyet he opened not his mouth;
bwlike a bxlamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, bywho considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9And they made his grave with the wicked
bzand with a rich man in his death,
although cahe had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet cbit was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief; ▼
▼Or he has made him sick
cdwhen his soul makes ▼
▼Or when you make his soul
an offering for guilt,he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
cfthe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
