⁷ Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down to the pit.

¹⁷ Lo, to peace He changed for me bitterness, And Thou hast delighted in my soul without corruption, For Thou hast cast behind Thy back all my sins. ¹⁸ For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not for Thy truth.

²⁰ And I have caused thee to go down, With those going down to the pit, Unto the people of old, And I have caused thee to dwell in the land, The lower parts—in wastes of old, With those going down to the pit, So that thou art not inhabited, And I have given beauty in the land of the living.

¹⁸ `Son of man, Wail for the multitude of Egypt, And cause it to go down, It—and the daughters of honourable nations, Unto the earth—the lower parts, With those going down to the pit. ¹⁹ Than whom hast thou been more pleasant? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised. ²⁰ In the midst of the pierced of the sword they fall, To the sword she hath been given, They drew her out, and all her multitude. ²¹ Speak to him do the gods of the mighty out of the midst of sheol, With his helpers—they have gone down, They have lain with the uncircumcised, The pierced of the sword. ²² There is Asshur, and all her assembly, Round about him are his graves, All of them are wounded, who are falling by sword, ²³ Whose graves are appointed in the sides of the pit, And her assembly is round about her grave, All of them wounded, falling by sword, Because they gave terror in the land of the living. ²⁴ There is Elam, and all her multitude, Round about is her grave, All of them wounded, who are falling by sword, Who have gone down uncircumcised unto the earth—the lower parts, Because they gave their terror in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit. ²⁵ In the midst of the wounded they have appointed a bed for her with all her multitude, Round about him are her graves, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For their terror was given in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit, In the midst of the pierced he hath been put. ²⁶ There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude, Round about him are her graves, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For they gave their terror in the land of the living, ²⁷ And they lie not with the mighty, Who are falling of the uncircumcised, Who have gone down to sheol with their weapons of war, And they put their swords under their heads, And their iniquities are on their bones, For the terror of the mighty is in the land of the living. ²⁸ And thou, in the midst of the uncircumcised art broken, And dost lie with the pierced of the sword. ²⁹ There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, Who have been given up in their might, With the pierced of the sword, They with the uncircumcised do lie, And with those going down to the pit. ³⁰ There are princes of the north, All of them, and every Zidonian, Who have gone down with the pierced in their terror, Of their might they are ashamed, And they lie uncircumcised with the pierced of the sword, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit. ³¹ Then doth Pharaoh see, And he hath been comforted for all his multitude, The pierced of the sword—Pharaoh and all his force, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. ³² For I have given his terror in the land of the living, And he hath been laid down in the midst of the uncircumcised, With the pierced of the sword—Pharaoh, and all his multitude, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

²² For a fire hath been kindled in Mine anger, And it burneth unto Sheol—the lowest, And consumeth earth and its increase, And setteth on fire foundations of mountains.

² And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.

¹⁵ Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.

¹³ For Thy kindness is great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

¹ A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

³ For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.

¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness, They have not known at what they stumble.

² Me He hath led, and causeth to go in darkness, and without light.

⁵⁵ I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit.

⁴⁶ I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me—in the darkness may not remain;

⁶ messengers also, those who did not keep their own principality, but did leave their proper dwelling, to a judgment of a great day, in bonds everlasting, under darkness He hath kept,

¹³ wild waves of a sea, foaming out their own shames; stars going astray, to whom the gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept.

⁴ For arrows of the Mighty are with me, Whose poison is drinking up my spirit. Terrors of God array themselves for me!

⁴ When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.

¹ A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

⁷ Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.

⁷ For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.

¹⁰ From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.

³ When Thou dost cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and Thy billows have passed over me.

³⁶ he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

⁵ but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who shall render to each according to his works; ⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility—life age-during; ⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

²⁴ who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed,

¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,' ¹⁷ because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

¹⁸ And they make a covenant both of them before Jehovah; and David abideth in the forest, and Jonathan hath gone to his house.
¹⁹ And the Ziphites go up unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, `Is not David hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest, in the height of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desolate place? ²⁰ And, now, by all the desire of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down, and ours is to shut him up into the hand of the king.'

¹⁴ Lo, He breaketh down, and it is not built up, He shutteth against a man, And it is not opened.

⁸ My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths darkness He placeth.

¹³ My brethren from me He hath put far off, And mine acquaintances surely Have been estranged from me. ¹⁴ Ceased have my neighbours And my familiar friends have forgotten me, ¹⁵ Sojourners of my house and my maids, For a stranger reckon me: An alien I have been in their eyes. ¹⁶ To my servant I have called, And he doth not answer, With my mouth I make supplication to him. ¹⁷ My spirit is strange to my wife, And my favours to the sons of my mother's womb. ¹⁸ Also sucklings have despised me, I rise, and they speak against me. ¹⁹ Abominate me do all the men of my counsel, And those I have loved, Have been turned against me.

¹⁰ They have abominated me, They have kept far from me, And from before me have not spared to spit.

¹¹ Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without—fled from me.

¹⁸ Thou hast put far from me lover and friend, Mine acquaintance is the place of darkness!

⁴ Looking on the right hand—and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.

⁴ And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate.

⁷ Thus said Jehovah, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the abominated of a nation, To the servant of rulers: `Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooseth thee.'

² And then the forces of the king of Babylon are laying siege against Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet hath been shut up in the court of the prison that is in the house of the king of Judah,

⁸ And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul is grieved with them, and also their soul hath abhorred me.

And they said, `Barabbas.' ²² Pilate saith to them, `What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, `Let be crucified!' ²³ And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.' ²⁴ And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye—ye shall see;' <sup>25</sup> and all the people answering said, `His blood is upon us, and upon our children!'

⁵⁷ and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew it, so that they may seize him.

²³ `He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father; ²⁴ if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

¹³ If thou—thou hast prepared thy heart, And hast spread out unto Him thy hands,

²⁰ My interpreter is my friend, Unto God hath mine eye dropped:

⁷ And dim from sorrow is mine eye, And my members as a shadow all of them.

⁷ Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

¹⁰ My heart is panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.

³ My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where is thy God?'

²⁰ If we have forgotten the name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,

¹⁷ Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,

³¹ Come do fat ones out of Egypt, Cush causeth her hands to run to God.

¹ A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah, to the Overseer, `Concerning the Sickness of Afflictions.' —An instruction, by Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before Thee,

⁹ Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,

⁶ I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul is as a weary land for Thee. Selah.

⁴⁸ Rivulets of water go down my eye, For the destruction of the daughter of my people. ⁴⁹ Mine eye is poured out, And doth not cease without intermission,

¹¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

³⁵ Jesus wept.

⁷ For there is of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease. ⁸ If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust, ⁹ From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant. ¹⁰ And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where is he? ¹¹ Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry. ¹² And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their sleep.

⁵ For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?

¹⁷ The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

¹⁷ I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,

¹⁹ `Thy dead live—My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs is thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.

¹⁸ For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not for Thy truth. ¹⁹ The living, the living, he doth confess Thee.

¹ There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones, ² and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many are on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry. ³ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, do these bones live?' And I say, `O Lord Jehovah, Thou—Thou hast known.' ⁴ And He saith unto me, `Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah: <sup>5</sup> Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived, <sup>6</sup> and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I am Jehovah.' <sup>7</sup> And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone. <sup>8</sup> And I beheld, and lo, on them are sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above—and spirit there is none in them. <sup>9</sup> And He saith unto me: `Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.' ¹⁰ And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet—a very very great force. ¹¹ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves. ¹² Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel. ¹³ And ye have known that I am Jehovah, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people. ¹⁴ And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done it, An affirmation of Jehovah.'

³⁵ As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's house, certain, saying—`Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?' <sup>36</sup> And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.'

¹² and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her. ¹³ And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, `Be not weeping;' <sup>14</sup> and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing it stood still, and he said, `Young man, to thee I say, Arise;' ¹⁵ and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother; ¹⁶ and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying—`A great prophet hath risen among us,' and—`God did look upon His people.'

⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we—we shall be changed: ⁵³ for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality; ⁵⁴ and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, `The Death was swallowed up—to victory; ⁵⁵ where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?' ⁵⁶ and the sting of the death is the sin, and the power of the sin the law; ⁵⁷ and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

³⁰ That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought.

⁶ Naked is Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.

²³ And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I—I do trust in Thee!

¹⁸ Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.

¹¹ Sheol and destruction are before Jehovah, Surely also the hearts of the sons of men.

¹³ `Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;

²² And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,

¹ And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction,

²¹ Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and death-shade, ²² A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade—and no order, And the shining is as thick darkness.'

⁵ Among the dead—free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.

¹⁶ That there is no remembrance to the wise—with the fool—to the age, for that which is already, in the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dieth the wise? with the fool!

¹⁰ And so I have seen the wicked buried, and they went in, even from the Holy Place they go, and they are forgotten in the city whether they had so done. This also is vanity.

⁵ For the living know that they die, and the dead know not anything, and there is no more to them a reward, for their remembrance hath been forgotten.

²² And unto the land it looketh attentively, And lo, adversity and darkness! —Dimness, distress, and thick darkness is driven away, But not the dimness for which she is in distress!

¹² but the sons of the reign shall be cast forth to the outer darkness—there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.'

³ Jehovah, at morning Thou hearest my voice, At morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

² Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.

¹⁴⁷ I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, For Thy word I have hoped. ¹⁴⁸ Mine eyes have gone before the watches, To meditate in Thy saying.

³⁵ And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;

²⁴ Why dost Thou hide Thy face? And reckonest me for an enemy to Thee?

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? —for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

² For thou art the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

⁹ In anger Thou hast cast off and causest us to blush, And goest not forth with our hosts.

²⁴ Why Thy face hidest Thou? Thou forgettest our afflictions and our oppression,

¹⁷ And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress—haste, answer me.

⁷ To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more? ⁸ Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations? ⁹ Hath God forgotten His favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.

⁴⁶ and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, `Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

¹¹ Also I—I withhold not my mouth—I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk in the bitterness of my soul. ¹² A sea-monster am I, or a dragon, That thou settest over me a guard? ¹³ When I said, `My bed doth comfort me,' He taketh away in my talking my couch. ¹⁴ And thou hast affrighted me with dreams, And from visions thou terrifiest me, ¹⁵ And my soul chooseth strangling, Death rather than my bones. ¹⁶ I have wasted away—not to the age do I live. Cease from me, for my days are vanity.

¹¹ My days have passed by, My devices have been broken off, The possessions of my heart! ¹² Night for day they appoint, Light is near because of darkness. ¹³ If I wait—Sheol is my house, In darkness I have spread out my couch. ¹⁴ To corruption I have called: —`Thou art my father.' `My mother' and `my sister' —to the worm. ¹⁵ And where is now my hope? Yea, my hope, who doth behold it? ¹⁶ To the parts of Sheol ye go down, If together on the dust we may rest.

¹⁴ As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels. ¹⁵ Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.

¹⁴ And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof is every morning.

¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed—he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.

⁷ Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero—My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones.

⁴⁴ and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.

¹ A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me. ² For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.

⁴⁶ Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?

¹¹ Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear—Thy wrath?

⁴ Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains—he hath carried them, And we—we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted. ⁵ And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace is on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us. ⁶ All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all.

²⁶ And after the sixty and two weeks, cut off is Messiah, and the city and the holy place are not his, the Leader who hath come doth destroy the people; and its end is with a flood, and till the end is war, determined are desolations.

³² He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

¹³ Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

¹⁷ because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

¹² At ease I have been, and he breaketh me, And he hath laid hold on my neck, And he breaketh me in pieces, And he raiseth me to him for a mark. ¹³ Go round against me do his archers. He splitteth my reins, and spareth not, He poureth out to the earth my gall.

¹⁴ As a wide breach they come, Under the desolation have rolled themselves.
¹⁵ He hath turned against me terrors, It pursueth as the wind mine abundance, And as a thick cloud, Hath my safety passed away.

¹⁶ And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.

¹ To the Overseer. —`On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul. ² I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.

³ Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.

¹⁰ All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. ¹¹ They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. ¹² They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

⁴ Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

⁵ He hath built up against me, And setteth round poverty and weariness. ⁶ In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old. ⁷ He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.

³⁹ and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building it, save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.' <sup>41</sup> And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said, <sup>42</sup> `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him; ⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said—Son of God I am;' ⁴⁴ with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

¹² Come in do His troops together, And they raise up against me their way, And encamp round about my tent. ¹³ My brethren from me He hath put far off, And mine acquaintances surely Have been estranged from me. ¹⁴ Ceased have my neighbours And my familiar friends have forgotten me, ¹⁵ Sojourners of my house and my maids, For a stranger reckon me: An alien I have been in their eyes.

¹¹ My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.

⁸ Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up—I go not forth.
