²² For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And burneth unto the lowest pit, And devoureth the earth with her increase, And setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains.

² He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay; and he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

¹ A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

⁵⁵ I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.

⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.

⁶ And angels which kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

¹³ Wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved for ever.

⁴ For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

⁴ For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. Selah

¹ A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

⁷ Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

⁷ For we are consumed in thine anger, and in thy wrath are we troubled.

¹⁰ Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.

³ For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all thy waves and thy billows passed over me.

¹⁴ Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again; he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

⁸ He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths.

¹³ He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me. ¹⁴ My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. ¹⁶ I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, [though] I entreat him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is strange to my wife, and my supplication to the children of my [mother’s] womb. ¹⁸ Even young children despise me; if I arise, they speak against me. ¹⁹ All my inward friends abhor me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.

¹⁰ They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

¹¹ Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, yea, unto my neighbours exceedingly, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

¹⁸ Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

⁴ Look on [my] right hand, and see; for there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul.

⁴ Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

⁷ Thus saith the LORD, the redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of the LORD that is faithful, [even] the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.

³ I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.

² Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.

⁷ He hath fenced me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy. ⁸ Yea, when I cry and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer. ⁹ He hath fenced up my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

⁸ And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.

²¹ But the governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus which is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified. ²³ And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: see ye [to it]. ²⁵ And all the people answered and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.

⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should shew it, that they might take him.

²³ He that hateth me hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

¹³ If thou set thine heart aright, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

²⁰ My friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out tears unto God;

⁷ Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.

⁷ Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

¹⁰ My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

³ My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

²⁰ If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

¹⁷ Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan: and he shall hear my voice.

³¹ Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God.

¹ A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

⁹ For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.

⁶ I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a weary land. Selah

⁴⁸ Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people. ⁴⁹ Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

¹¹ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

³⁵ Jesus wept.

⁷ For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. ⁸ Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; ⁹ Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant. ¹⁰ But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? ¹¹ [As] the waters fail from the sea, and the river decayeth and drieth up; ¹² So man lieth down and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

¹⁷ The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;

¹⁷ I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

¹⁹ Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.

¹⁸ For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. ¹⁹ The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

¹ The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones; ² And he caused me to pass by them round about: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and lo, they were very dry. ³ And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. ⁴ Again he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. ⁵ Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. ⁶ And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. ⁷ So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold an earthquake, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. ⁸ And I beheld, and lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. ⁹ Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. ¹⁰ So I prophesied as he commanded me; and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. ¹¹ Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off. ¹² Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. ¹³ And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people. ¹⁴ And I will put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

³⁵ While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue’s [house], saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? ³⁶ But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe.

¹² Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. ¹³ And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. ¹⁴ And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. ¹⁵ And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. ¹⁶ And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people.

⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. ⁵⁵ O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law: ⁵⁷ but thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

³⁰ That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? that they are led forth to the day of wrath?

⁶ Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon hath no covering.

²³ But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

¹⁸ Surely thou settest them in slippery places: thou castest them down to destruction.

¹¹ Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men!

¹³ Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many be they that enter in thereby.

²² What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:

¹ But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

²¹ Before I go whence I shall not return, [even] to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death; ²² A land of thick darkness, as darkness [itself]; [a land] of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.

⁵ Cast off among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from thy hand.

¹⁶ For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been already forgotten. And how doth the wise man die even as the fool!

¹⁰ And withal I saw the wicked buried, and they came [to the grave]; and they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city: this also is vanity.

⁵ For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

²² and they shall look unto the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and into thick darkness [they shall be] driven away.

¹² but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

³ O LORD, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.

² O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

¹⁴⁷ I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words. ¹⁴⁸ Mine eyes prevented the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

³⁵ And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.

²⁴ Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

¹ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

² For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

⁹ But now thou hast cast [us] off, and brought us to dishonour; and goest not forth with our hosts.

²⁴ Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

¹⁷ And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.

⁷ Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? ⁸ Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? ⁹ Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

¹¹ Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. ¹² Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that thou settest a watch over me? ¹³ When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; ¹⁴ Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: ¹⁵ So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than [these] my bones. ¹⁶ I loathe [my life]; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.

¹¹ My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the droughts of my heart. ¹² They change the night into a day: the fight, [say they], is near unto the darkness. ¹³ If I look for Sheol as mine house; if I have spread my couch in the darkness; ¹⁴ If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; to the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister; ¹⁵ Where then is my hope? and as for my hope, who shall see it? ¹⁶ It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, when once there is rest in the dust.

¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. ¹⁵ My Strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

¹⁴ For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

⁷ Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

¹ A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. ² For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

⁴⁶ How long, O LORD, wilt thou hid thyself for ever? [how long] shall thy wrath burn like fire?

¹¹ Who knoweth the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?

⁴ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. ⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. ⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

²⁶ And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and his end shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined.

³² He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

¹⁷ for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?

¹² I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: he hath also set me up for his mark. ¹³ His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

¹⁴ As through a wide breach they come: in the midst of the ruin they roll themselves [upon me]. ¹⁵ Terrors are turned upon me, they chase mine honour as the wind; and my welfare is passed away as a cloud.

¹⁶ For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of evil-doers have enclosed me; they pierced my hands and my feet.

¹ For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. ² I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

³ The cords of death compassed me, and the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

¹⁰ All nations compassed me about: in the name of the LORD I will cut them off. ¹¹ They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: in the name of the LORD I will cut them off. ¹² They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

⁴ Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

⁵ He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. ⁶ He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead. ⁷ He hath fenced me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy.

³⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ In like manner also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. ⁴³ He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

¹² His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent. ¹³ He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me. ¹⁴ My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.

¹¹ My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

⁸ Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
