⁵⁹ Let these words of mine, with which I have pleaded before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, and may he maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as each day requires,

⁹ I am praying for them. ^(A)I am not praying for the world but for those ^(B)whom you have given me, for ^(C)they are yours.

^2 (A)He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but ^(B)also for the sins of the whole world.

²⁰ “I do not ^(A)ask for these only, but also for those ^(B)who will believe in me through their word, ^21 (C)that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that ^(D)they also may be in ^(E)us, so that the world ^(F)may believe that you have sent me. ^22 (G)The glory that you have given me ^(H)I have given to them, ^(I)that they may be one even as we are one, ^23 (J)I in them and you in me, ^(K)that they may become perfectly one, ^(L)so that the world may know that you sent me and ^(M)loved them even as ^(N)you loved me. ²⁴ Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be ^(O)with me ^(P)where I am, ^(Q)to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me ^(R)before the foundation of the world.

Do Not Hide Your Face from Me

A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is ^(A)faint and ^(B)pours out his complaint before the Lord.
