Footnotes
- 25:22 A final verse beginning with the Hebrew letter pe is added to the normal twenty-two-letter alphabet. Thus the letters aleph, lamed, and pe open the first, middle (Ps 25:11), and last lines of the Psalm. Together, they spell aleph, the first letter of the alphabet, from a Hebrew root that means “to learn.”
Psalm 39:10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 I am silent and do not open my mouth
because you are the one who did this.
Isaiah 64:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
Zion has become wilderness, Jerusalem desolation!(A)
10 Our holy and glorious house
in which our ancestors praised you
Has been burned with fire;
all that was dear to us is laid waste.
11 Can you hold back, Lord, after all this?
Can you remain silent, and afflict us so severely?
Jeremiah 17:14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

14 Heal me, Lord, that I may be healed;
save me, that I may be saved,
for you are my praise.
