Deliver me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters.
Stretch out your hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me from the many waters, from the hand of foreigners,
But you, O God my Lord, deal on my behalf for your name’s sake; because your steadfast love is good, deliver me!
But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’”
But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
“I called on your name, O Lord, from the depths of the pit;
They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause.
Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me.
Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
Let not those rejoice over me who are wrongfully my foes, and let not those wink the eye who hate me without cause.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.
