My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

Pray without ceasing.

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

I cry to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.

My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”

By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.

Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can’t save? Yet you, Yahweh, are in the middle of us, and we are called by your name. Don’t leave us.

At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, “Cornelius!”

In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.

to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”

Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and Yahweh’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

“Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry. Don’t be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?

You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.

Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?

Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”

After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.

At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.

How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!

Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.

Yahweh God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.

Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save?
