How Long, O Lord?
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
13 (A)How long, O Lord? Will you (B)forget me for ever?
How long will you (C)hide your face from me?
2 How long must I take (D)counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 (E)Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
(F)light up my eyes, lest (G)I sleep the sleep of death,
4 (H)lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him”,
lest my foes rejoice because I am (I)shaken.
5 But I have (J)trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall (K)rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
23 From there he went up to Beersheba. 24 And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, (A)“I am the God of Abraham your father. (B)Fear not, for (C)I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham's sake.” 25 So he (D)built an altar there and called upon the name of the Lord and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.
Temptations to Sin
17 And he said to his disciples, (A)“Temptations to sin[a] are (B)sure to come, but (C)woe to the one through whom they come! 2 (D)It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.[b] 3 Pay attention to yourselves! (E)If your brother sins, (F)rebuke him, and if he repents, (G)forgive him, 4 and if he sins against you (H)seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent’, you must forgive him.”
