\q

\v 2 He drove me away and caused me to walk in darkness rather than light.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00

\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00

\s5
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00

\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00

\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 7 He built a wall around me and I cannot escape. He made my chains heavy
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00

2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\s5
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00

2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 10 He is like a bear waiting to ambush me, a lion in hiding;
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 11 he turned aside my paths, he has made be desolate.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\s5
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00

\q
2016-10-03 20:07:30 +00:00

2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 14 I became a laughingstock to all my people, the object of their taunting all day long.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 15 He filled me with bitterness and forced me to drink wormwood.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\s5
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 16 He crushed my teeth with gravel; he has pushed me down into the dust.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 17 My soul is deprived of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 18 So I say, "My endurance has perished and so has my hope in Yahweh."
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\b
\s5
\q

2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00

2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-10-13 17:50:20 +00:00

\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 24 "Yahweh is my inheritance," I said, therefore I will hope in him.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\s5
\q
\v 25 Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the one who seeks him.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 26 It is good to wait silently for the salvation of Yahweh.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
\v 27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00

\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 29 Let him put his mouth in the dust—there may yet be hope.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\s5
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 30 Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him, and let him be filled full with disgrace.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 31 For the Lord will not reject us forever,
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 32 but though he causes grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 33 For he does not afflict from his heart or torment the children of mankind.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\s5
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 34 To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the earth,
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 35 to deny a man justice in the presence of the Most High,

\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00
\v 36 to deny justice to a person—the Lord would not approve such things!
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\s5
\q
2016-09-29 19:14:28 +00:00

\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and the good come?

\q
2016-09-29 19:44:24 +00:00
\v 39 How can any person alive complain? How can a person complain about the punishment for his sins?

\b
\s5
\q
2016-09-29 19:44:24 +00:00

\v 43 You have covered yourself with anger and pursued us, you have killed and you have not spared.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\s5
\q

2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-10-03 14:50:55 +00:00
\v 53 They cast me into a pit and they threw a stone on me,
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q
2016-10-03 15:02:47 +00:00
\v 54 and waters poured over my head. I said, "I have been cut off!"

\b
\s5
\q
2016-09-29 20:09:26 +00:00

\q
2016-09-29 20:09:26 +00:00
\v 60 You have seen their insults, all their plots against me—
