For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

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.

Gideon said to him, “Oh, my lord, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, ‘Didn’t Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?’ But now Yahweh has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”

Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

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

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.

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.

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.

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive plants around your table.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

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

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.

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.
