I was at ease, but He has shattered me; He also has taken [me] by my neck, and shaken me to pieces; He has set me up for His target,

He breaks me with wound upon wound; He runs at me like a warrior.

' I will heap disasters on them; I will spend My arrows on them.

I will make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword shall devour flesh, With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the heads of the leaders of the enemy." '

He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.

He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe, Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.

Therefore You will make them turn their back; You will make ready [Your arrows] on Your string toward their faces.

For Your arrows pierce me deeply, And Your hand presses me down.

Your arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; The peoples fall under You.

He has bent His bow And set me up as a target for the arrow.

He has caused the arrows of His quiver To pierce my loins.

[They shall be] wasted with hunger, Devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction; I will also send against them the teeth of beasts, With the poison of serpents of the dust.

Answer me speedily, O LORD; My spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.

The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, But who can bear a broken spirit?

And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.

Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, [even] to death. Stay here and watch."

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

For He crushes me with a tempest, And multiplies my wounds without cause.

Terrors are turned upon me; They pursue my honor as the wind, And my prosperity has passed like a cloud.

For destruction [from] God [is] a terror to me, And because of His magnificence I cannot endure.

I [have been] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth; I suffer Your terrors; I am distraught.

Your fierce wrath has gone over me; Your terrors have cut me off.

Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.
