Psalms 38:1-8

Do Not Forsake Me, O Lord

A Psalm of David, cfor the memorial offering.

1 O Lord, drebuke me not in your anger,
nor discipline me in your wrath!
2For your earrows have sunk into me,
and your hand fhas come down on me.
3 There is gno soundness in my flesh
because of your indignation;
there is no health in my hbones
because of my sin.
4For my iiniquities have gone over my head;
like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink and fester
because of my foolishness,
6I am jutterly bowed down and kprostrate;
all the day I lgo about mourning.
7For my sides are filled with burning,
and there is mno soundness in my flesh.
8I am feeble and crushed;
I ngroan because of the tumult of my heart.

Psalms 42:7

7Deep calls to deep
at the roar of your waterfalls;
oall your breakers and your pwaves
have gone over me.

Psalms 77:2-4

2 qIn the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
in rthe night my shand is stretched out without wearying;
my soul trefuses to be comforted.
3When I remember God, I umoan;
when I meditate, my spirit faints.  Selah
4 You hold my eyelids open;
I am so vtroubled that I cannot speak.

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord

17 Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 wyet I will rejoice in the Lord;
xI will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19God, the Lord, is my strength;
yhe makes my feet like the deer’s;
he makes me ztread on my aahigh places.
abTo the choirmaster: with acstringed
Hebrew my stringed
instruments.

1 Corinthians 4:11-13

11To the present hour aewe hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and afbuffeted and aghomeless, 12and we ahlabor, working with our own hands. aiWhen reviled, we bless; ajwhen persecuted, we endure; 13when slandered, we entreat. akWe have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, althe refuse of all things.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9

8We are amafflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9persecuted, but annot forsaken; aostruck down, but not destroyed;
