The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses.

Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and Your billows have gone over me.

The bands of death have encompassed me, and the distress of Sheol has fallen upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

Then I called upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech You, deliver my soul!

I had been certain, therefore I spoke; I have been greatly afflicted.

For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened exceedingly, beyond strength, so that we despaired even of life.

Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,

We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were fightings, inside were fears.

And Moses cried out to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me!

And all the congregation intended to stone them with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting before all the children of Israel.

Surely the sons of men are a vapor; men are a lie; if they were to climb up into the scales, they are altogether lighter than vapor.

And the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

Pilate said to them, What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let Him be crucified!

And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Jehovah and wept with weeping.

And the sons of Dan said to him, Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest men of bitter souls fall upon you, and you lose your soul, with the souls of your household!

For, said Hushai, you know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are bitter of soul, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field; and your father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

And when she came to the man of God at the hill, she took hold of his feet; and Gehazi came near to push her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is bitter, and Jehovah has hidden it from me, and has not told me.

Though He slay me, yet will I wait for Him; but I will prove my own ways before Him.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him, into His ears.

i1 [A Psalm of David.] i0 par Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Jehovah; I shall not slip.

Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; purify my being and my heart.

i1 [A Psalm of David.] i0 par Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise against me, in this I have confidence.

i1 [A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.] i0 par I will bless Jehovah at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

O magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt His name together.

The Angel of Jehovah encamps round about those who fear Him, and rescues them.

i1 [To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] i0 par I waited patiently for Jehovah, and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and secured my steps.

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and murmur within me? Hope in God; for I shall praise Him for the deliverance coming from His presence.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why do you murmur within me? Hope in God; for I still praise Him for the deliverance coming from the presence of my God.

When I am afraid I trust in You.

In God (I praise His Word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid of what man can do to me.

i1 [To the chief Musician. Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.] i0 par Only before God is my soul silent; from Him comes my salvation.

My soul, be still only before God; for my expectation is from Him.

Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.

It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man.

All the nations have surrounded me, but in the name of Jehovah I will destroy them.

They have surrounded me like bees. They have been quenched like a fire of thorns, for in the name of Jehovah I will destroy them.

The name of Jehovah is a strong tower; the righteous one runs into it and is safe.

For You are a refuge to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the ruthless ones is like a storm against the wall.

And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messenger, and read it. And Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah and spread it before Jehovah.

O Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the heavens and the earth.

Truly, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands,

Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are Jehovah, You alone.

O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations shall come to You from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

Though the fig tree shall not blossom, and fruit is not on the vines; the work of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food; the flock is cut off from the fold, and no herd is in the stalls,

yet I will exult in Jehovah; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

who, against hope, believed in hope, so that he might become the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, So shall your seed be.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Now if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation, being effective in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are encouraged, it is for your comfort and salvation.

Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,

who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us, in whom we hope that He will still deliver us,

So we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
