Psalm 22:23-31

New International Version

²³You who fear the Lord, praise him!^(A)
    All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!^(B)
    Revere him,^(C) all you descendants of Israel!
²⁴For he has not despised^(D) or scorned
    the suffering of the afflicted one;^(E)
he has not hidden his face^(F) from him
    but has listened to his cry for help.^(G)

²⁵From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;^(H)
    before those who fear you^[a] I will fulfill my vows.^(I)
²⁶The poor will eat^(J) and be satisfied;
    those who seek the Lord will praise him—^(K)
    may your hearts live forever!

²⁷All the ends of the earth^(L)
    will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
    will bow down before him,^(M)
²⁸for dominion belongs to the Lord^(N)
    and he rules over the nations.

²⁹All the rich^(O) of the earth will feast and worship;^(P)
    all who go down to the dust^(Q) will kneel before him—
    those who cannot keep themselves alive.^(R)
³⁰Posterity^(S) will serve him;
    future generations^(T) will be told about the Lord.
³¹They will proclaim his righteousness,^(U)
    declaring to a people yet unborn:^(V)
    He has done it!^(W)

Psalm 22:25 Hebrew him

Genesis 16:7-15

New International Version

⁷The angel of the Lord^(A) found Hagar near a spring^(B) in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.^(C) ⁸And he said, “Hagar,^(D) slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”^(E)

“I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.

⁹Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” ¹⁰The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”^(F)

¹¹The angel of the Lord^(G) also said to her:

“You are now pregnant
    and you will give birth to a son.^(H)
You shall name him^(I) Ishmael,^[a]^(J)
    for the Lord has heard of your misery.^(K)
¹²He will be a wild donkey^(L) of a man;
    his hand will be against everyone
    and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
    toward^[b] all his brothers.^(M)”

¹³She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,^(N)” for she said, “I have now seen^[c] the One who sees me.”^(O) ¹⁴That is why the well^(P) was called Beer Lahai Roi^[d];^(Q) it is still there, between Kadesh^(R) and Bered.
