To the Chief Musician. Set to "The Deer of the Dawn." A Psalm of David. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? [Why are You so] far from helping Me, [And from] the words of My groaning?

But You [are] holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.

LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, [and] I was troubled.

I cried out to You, O LORD; And to the LORD I made supplication:

This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard [him,] And saved him out of all his troubles.

Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."

I called on the LORD in distress; The LORD answered me [and set me] in a broad place.

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD;

Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.

Now when he was in affliction, he implored the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

and prayed to Him; and He received his entreaty, heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD [was] God.

Then Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying:

"Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God.

"and have cast their gods into the fire; for they [were] not gods, but the work of men's hands -- wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them.

In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: 'Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.' "

and said, "Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done [what is] good in Your sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

Return, O LORD, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake!

Deliver Me from the sword, My precious [life] from the power of the dog.

The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses!

For innumerable evils have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; Therefore my heart fails me.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me!

Look on [my] right hand and see, For [there is] no one who acknowledges me; Refuge has failed me; No one cares for my soul.

Attend to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than I.

I spread out my hands to You; My soul [longs] for You like a thirsty land. Selah

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.

"And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise [his] eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!'

Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."

And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."
