22:1My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
22:2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
22:3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
22:4Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
22:5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
22:6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
22:7All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
22:8He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
22:9But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
22:10I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
22:11Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
22:12Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
22:13They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
22:14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
22:15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
22:16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
22:17I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
22:18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
22:19But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
22:20Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
22:21Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22:22I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
22:23Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
22:24For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
22:25My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
22:26The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
22:27All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
22:28For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
22:29All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
22:30A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
22:31They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
31:1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
31:2Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
31:3For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
31:4Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
31:5Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
31:6I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
31:7I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
31:8And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
31:9Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
31:10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
31:11I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
31:12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
31:13For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
31:14But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
31:15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
31:16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
31:17Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
31:18Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
31:19Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
31:20Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
31:21Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
31:22For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
31:23O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
31:24Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
34:1I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
34:2My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
34:3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
34:4I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
34:5They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
34:6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
34:7The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
34:8O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
34:9O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
34:10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
34:11Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
34:12What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
34:13Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
34:14Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
34:15The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
34:16The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
34:17The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
34:18The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
34:19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
34:20He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
34:21Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
34:22The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
140:1Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
140:2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
140:3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
140:4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
140:5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
140:6I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
140:7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
140:8Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
140:9As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
140:10Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
140:11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
140:12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
140:13Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
