    bring me out of my distresses.

We are (A)afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but (B)not forsaken; (C)struck down, but not destroyed;

11 To the present hour (A)we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and (B)buffeted and (C)homeless, 12 and we (D)labor, working with our own hands. (E)When reviled, we bless; (F)when persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we entreat. (G)We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, (H)the refuse of all things.

Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord

17 Though the fig tree should not blossom,
    nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
    and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
    and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 (A)yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
    (B)I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19 God, the Lord, is my strength;
    (C)he makes my feet like the deer's;
    he makes me (D)tread on my (E)high places.

(F)To the choirmaster: with (G)stringed[a] instruments.

  1. Habakkuk 3:19 Hebrew my stringed

(A)In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
    in (B)the night my (C)hand is stretched out without wearying;
    my soul (D)refuses to be comforted.
When I remember God, I (E)moan;
    when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

You hold my eyelids open;
    I am so (F)troubled that I cannot speak.

Deep calls to deep

(A)all your breakers and your (B)waves
    have gone over me.

Do Not Forsake Me, O Lord

A Psalm of David, (A)for the memorial offering.

38 O Lord, (B)rebuke me not in your anger,
    nor discipline me in your wrath!
For your (C)arrows have sunk into me,
    and your hand (D)has come down on me.

There is (E)no soundness in my flesh
    because of your indignation;
there is no health in my (F)bones
    because of my sin.
For my (G)iniquities have gone over my head;
    like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

My wounds stink and fester
    because of my foolishness,
I am (H)utterly bowed down and (I)prostrate;
    all the day I (J)go about mourning.
For my sides are filled with burning,
    and there is (K)no soundness in my flesh.
I am feeble and crushed;
    I (L)groan because of the tumult of my heart.

    (B)but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
