Psalms 69:17

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

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

I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

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,

Why do you hide your face, and consider me your enemy?

Incline your ear, Yahweh, and hear. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to defy the living God.

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.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

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

How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?

“ ‘When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.

“Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.

For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

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

Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’ ”

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.

“Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought on me, with which Yahweh has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.

Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”

For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves concede.

My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Yahweh—how long?

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

Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.

He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

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

Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

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

Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.

Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.

Yahweh is my portion. I promised to obey your words.

Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.

Why do you forget us forever, and forsake us for so long a time?

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

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?”

“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But I came to this time for this cause.

and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’

Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”

How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

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

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

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

Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.

Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.

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

which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.

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?

I have done what is just and righteous. Don’t leave me to my oppressors.

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.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

Don’t be furious, Yahweh. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.

Take words with you, and return to Yahweh. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good: so we offer our lips like bulls.

Then he said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me.”

About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
