Psalms 71:20

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

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

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

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

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

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

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.

for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

Therefore Yahweh’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.

and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.

Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

He will deliver you in six troubles; yes, in seven no evil will touch you.

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

Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

“Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

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

A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.

So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.

He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.

Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’

Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.

Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

You will betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. You will build a house, and you won’t dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, and not use its fruit.

Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.

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

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.

Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.

For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.

You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

They will only bow down under the prisoners, and will fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.

Your Lord Yahweh, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not drink it any more.

Then tell them, ‘Yahweh says, “Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

“Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says Yahweh, “which destroys all the earth. I will stretch out my hand on you, roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burned mountain.

Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.

yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay.

Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.

But God raised him from the dead,

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,

Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

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,

Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,

who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.

For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

A grievous vision is declared to me. The treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, Elam; attack! I have stopped all of Media’s sighing.

“The Lord Yahweh says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held in derision. It contains much.

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God.

But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word!

Before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;

For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.

Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

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.

Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?

Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them: you restore me, and cause me to live.

Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? “Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.

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?”

He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him!

whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering.They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.

Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways.

Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
