Psalm 102:12-28

12 But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation.

13 *Thou* wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come.

14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.

15 And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

16 When Jehovah shall build up Zion, he will appear in his glory.

17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute one, and not despise their prayer.

18 This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people that shall be created shall praise Jah:

19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from the heavens hath Jehovah beheld the earth,

20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to die;

21 That the name of Jehovah may be declared in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,

22 When the peoples shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.

23 He weakened my strength in the way, he shortened my days.

24 I said, My God, take me not away in the midst of my days! … Thy years are from generation to generation.

25 Of old hast thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:

26 *They* shall perish, but *thou* continuest; and all of them shall grow old as a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.

27 But thou art the Same, and thy years shall have no end.

28 The children of thy servants shall abide, and their seed shall be established before thee.

Job 6:1-13

And Job answered and said,

Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words are vehement.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, their poison drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of +God are arrayed against me.

Doth the wild ass bray by the grass? loweth an ox over his fodder?

Shall that which is insipid be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg?

What my soul refuseth to touch, that is as my loathsome food.

Oh that I might have my request, and that +God would grant my desire!

And that it would please +God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!

10 Then should I yet have comfort; and in the pain which spareth not I would rejoice that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should have patience?

12 Is my strength the strength of stones? is my flesh of brass?

13 Is it not that there is no help in me, and soundness is driven away from me?

Mark 3:7-12

And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him.

And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.

10 For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.

11 And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried saying, *Thou* art the Son of God.

12 And he rebuked them much, that they might not make him manifest.
