Psalm 2:7-12
Legacy Standard Bible
7 “I will surely tell of the [a]decree of Yahweh:
He said to Me, ‘You are (A)My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and (B)I will surely give (C)the [b]nations as Your inheritance,
And the (D)ends of the earth as Your possession.
9 You shall [c](E)break them with a [d]rod of iron,
You shall (F)shatter them like a potter’s vessel.’”
10 So now, O kings, (G)show insight;
Take warning, O [e]judges of the earth.
11 Serve Yahweh with (H)fear
And rejoice with (I)trembling.
12 [f]Kiss (J)the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way,
For (K)His [g]wrath may [h]soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who (L)take refuge in Him!

Why Have You Forsaken Me?
For the choir director. According to [a]Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.
22 (A)My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
[b](B)Far from my salvation are the words of my [c](C)groaning.
2 O my God, I (D)call by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but [d]I have no rest.
3 Yet (E)You are holy,
[e]Enthroned upon (F)the praises of Israel.
4 In You our fathers (G)trusted;
They trusted and You (H)rescued them.
5 To You they cried out and were granted escape;
(I)In You they trusted and were not [f]disappointed.
6 But I am a (J)worm and not a man,
A (K)reproach of men and (L)despised by the people.
7 All who see me (M)mock me;
They [g]smack their lip, they (N)wag their head, saying,
8 “[h]Commit yourself to Yahweh; (O)let Him rescue him;
Let Him deliver him, because He delights in him.”
9 Yet You are He who (P)brought me out of the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.
10 Upon You I was cast (Q)from [i]birth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.
11 (R)Be not far from me, for [j]distress is near;
For there is (S)none to help.
12 Many (T)bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of (U)Bashan have encircled me.
13 They (V)open wide their mouth at me,
As a (W)lion that tears and roars.
14 I am (X)poured out like water,
And all my (Y)bones are out of joint;
My (Z)heart is like wax;
It is melted within [k]me.
15 My (AA)strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And (AB)my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And You (AC)lay me [l]in the dust of death.
16 For (AD)dogs have surrounded me;
[m]A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
[n]They (AE)pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I count all my bones.
(AF)They look, they stare at me;
18 They (AG)divide my garments among them,
And for my clothing they cast lots.

34 (A)they gave Him (B)wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He did not want to drink.
35 And when they had crucified Him, (C)they divided up His garments among themselves by casting [a]lots. 36 And sitting down, they began to (D)keep watch over Him there. 37 And above His head they put up the charge against Him [b]which read, “(E)THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 At that time two robbers *were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39 And those passing by were blaspheming Him, (F)shaking their heads 40 and saying, “(G)You who are going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! (H)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42 “(I)He saved others; [c]He cannot save Himself. (J)He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 (K)He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He [d]delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 (L)And the robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.
45 (M)Now from the [e]sixth hour darkness [f]fell upon all the land until the [g]ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “(N)Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

Save Me, O God
For the choir director. According to [a]Shoshannim. Of David.
69 Save me, O God,
For the (A)waters have [b]threatened my life.
2 I have sunk in deep (B)clay, and there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters, and a [c](C)flood overflows me.
3 I am (D)weary with my calling out; my throat is parched;
My (E)eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4 Those (F)who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would [d]destroy me (G)are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies;
(H)What I did not steal, I then have to restore.
5 O God, it is You who knows (I)my folly,
And [e](J)all my guilt is not hidden from You.
6 May those who hope for You not (K)be ashamed through me, O Lord Yahweh of hosts;
May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,
7 Because (L)for Your sake I have borne reproach;
(M)Dishonor has covered my face.
8 I have become (N)estranged [f]from my brothers
And a foreigner to my mother’s sons.
9 For (O)zeal for Your house has consumed me,
And (P)the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
10 When I wept (Q)in my soul with fasting,
It became my reproach.
11 When I made (R)sackcloth my clothing,
I became (S)a byword to them.
12 Those who (T)dwell at the gate moan about me,
And I am (U)the drunkards’ songs.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Yahweh, (V)at an acceptable time;
O God, in the (W)abundance of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with the truth of Your salvation.
14 Deliver me from the (X)mire and do not let me sink;
May I be (Y)delivered from [g]my foes and from the [h](Z)deep waters.
15 May the [i](AA)flood of water not overflow me
Nor the deep swallow me up,
Nor the (AB)pit shut its mouth on me.
16 Answer me, O Yahweh, for (AC)Your lovingkindness is good;
(AD)According to the abundance of Your compassion, (AE)turn to me,
17 And (AF)do not hide Your face from Your slave,
For I am (AG)in distress; answer me quickly.
18 Oh draw near to my soul and (AH)redeem it;
(AI)Ransom me because of my enemies!
19 You know my (AJ)reproach and my shame and my dishonor;
All my adversaries are [j]before You.
20 Reproach has (AK)broken my heart and I am so sick.
And (AL)I hoped for sympathy, but there was none,
And for (AM)comforters, but I found none.
21 They also gave me [k](AN)gall [l]for my food
And for my thirst they (AO)gave me vinegar to drink.

Scripture Fulfilled—It Is Finished
28 After this, Jesus, (A)knowing that all things had already been finished, (B)in order [a]to finish the Scripture, *said, “(C)I am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so (D)they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “(E)It is finished!” And bowing His head, He (F)gave up His spirit.
31 Then the Jews, because it was (G)the day of Preparation, so that (H)the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath ([b]for that Sabbath was a (I)high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was (J)crucified with Him; 33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately (K)blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has (L)borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things came to pass (M)in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, “(N)Not a bone of Him shall be [c]broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “(O)They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”
Jesus Is Buried
38 (P)Now after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but (Q)secretly because of his (R)fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. 39 (S)And Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, (T)bringing a [d]mixture of (U)myrrh and aloes, weighing about [e]one (V)hundred litras. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and (W)bound it in (X)linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a (Y)new tomb (Z)in which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of (AA)Preparation, since the tomb was (AB)nearby, they laid Jesus there.

Give the King Your Judgments
Of Solomon.
72 O God, give the king (A)Your judgments,
And (B)Your righteousness to the king’s son.
2 [a]May [b]he (C)render judgment to Your people with righteousness
And (D)Your [c]afflicted with justice.
3 Let the mountains lift up [d](E)peace to the people,
And the hills, in righteousness.
4 [e]May he (F)give justice to the [f]afflicted of the people,
Save the children of the needy,
And crush the oppressor.
5 [g]Let them fear You (G)while the sun endures,

9 [k]Let (M)the desert creatures (N)kneel before him,

10 [l]Let the kings of (P)Tarshish and of the (Q)coastlands bring a present;

11 [m]And let all (U)kings bow down to him,
All (V)nations serve him.
12 For he will (W)deliver the needy when he cries for help,
The [n]afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
13 He will have (X)compassion on the poor and needy,
And the [o]lives of the needy he will save.
14 He will (Y)redeem their [p]life from oppression and violence,
And their blood will be (Z)precious in his sight;
15 So may he live! And may they give to him the (AA)gold of Sheba;
And let each pray for him continually;
Let each bless him all day long.
16 May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains;
May its fruit wave like the cedars of (AB)Lebanon;
And may those from the city blossom like (AC)vegetation of the earth.
17 May his (AD)name endure forever;
May his name [q]increase [r](AE)as long as the sun shines;
Let all nations [s](AF)be blessed in him;
