rescue 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; set me free and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hand of foreigners,
But you, O Lord my Lord, act 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 rule over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence.’ ”

At three o’clock Jesus cried out 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 surround me with words of hate and attack me without cause.
Do not let 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 thunder of your torrents; all your waves and your billows have gone over me.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God?
Do not let my treacherous enemies rejoice over me or those who hate me without cause wink the eye.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you.
Those who worship vain idols forsake their true loyalty.
