Psalms 22:19

Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.

He works to the north, but I can’t see him. He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: “There is no fear of God before his eyes.”

Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?

Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?

for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.

You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?

The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, “My father’s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword.”

For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone; that there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large.

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

I love you, Yahweh, my strength.

Save, Yahweh! Let the King answer us when we call!

The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
