My soul is greatly troubled, but You, O Lord—how long?
Return, O Lord! How long? Have compassion on Your servants!
“Now My soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? Instead, for this reason I came to this hour.
And shall not God avenge His own elect and be patient with them, who cry day and night to Him?
Then He said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Wait here, and keep watch with Me.”
The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, but a wounded spirit, who can bear?
“Will the Lord reject forever? Will He be favorable no more?
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my salvation and my God.
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence.
I am feeble and severely broken; I groan because of the disquietness of my heart.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within me.
that I may recount all Your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, that I may rejoice in Your salvation.
Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise.
