Psalms 22:24

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.

“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.”

Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.

Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

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

and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.

He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!”

Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.

In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.

David said in his heart, “I will now perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel. So shall I escape out of his hand.”

Jehoahaz begged Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.

Let your ear now be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father’s house have sinned.

I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill.

For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

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

To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

You who hear prayer, all men will come to you.

Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.

Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”

Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.

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

I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.

He who despises his neighbor sins, but he who has pity on the poor is blessed.
