因其不以施恩為念、乃迫窮乏與憂傷者、欲致之死兮、

維彼惡人、素不矜恤、匱乏難堪者、彼追襲之、中心痛悔者、彼殺害之兮、

緣其不思以施憐憫、逼迫困苦貧窮之人、逼迫心中悲傷之人、欲殺害之、

平生懷刻薄。好乘人之急。欺壓傷心人。窮民供殘殺。

The Lord is close to those whose hearts have been broken. He saves those whose spirits have been crushed.

They said to one another,“ God is surely punishing us because of our brother. We saw how upset he was when he begged us to let him live. But we wouldn’t listen. That’s why all this trouble has come to us.”

“ My soul is very sad. I feel close to death,” he said to them.“ Stay here. Keep watch.”He went a little farther. Then he fell to the ground. He prayed that, if possible, the hour might pass by him.“ Abba, Father,” he said,“ everything is possible for you. Take this cup of suffering away from me. But let what you want be done, not what I want.”

Shouldn’t you have had mercy on the other servant just as I had mercy on you?’In anger his master handed him over to the jailers. He would be punished until he paid back everything he owed.“ This is how my Father in heaven will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”

Sinners pull out their swords. They bend their bows. They want to kill poor and needy people. They plan to murder those who lead honest lives.

One day Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Here’s what I suggest. Choose 12,000 men. Start out tonight and go after David.Attack him while he’s tired and weak. Fill him with terror. Then all the people with him will run away. Don’t strike down anyone except the king.

Those who are evil hide and wait for godly people. They want to kill them.

They have broken my heart by saying evil things about me. It has left me helpless. I looked for pity, but I didn’t find any. I looked for someone to comfort me, but I didn’t find anyone.They put bitter spices in my food. They gave me vinegar when I was thirsty.Let their feast be a trap and a snare. Let my enemies get what’s coming to them.Let their eyes grow weak so they can’t see. Let their backs be bent forever.Pour out your anger on them. Let them feel what it is like.May their homes be deserted. May no one live in their tents.They attack those you have wounded. They talk about the pain of those you have hurt.Charge them with one crime after another. Don’t save them.May their names be erased from the book of life. Don’t include them in the list of those who do right.I’m in pain. I’m in deep trouble. God, save me and keep me safe.

Then David spoke to Abishai and all his officials. He said,“ My very own son Absalom is trying to kill me. How much more should this man from Benjamin want to kill me! Leave him alone. Let him curse. The Lord has told him to do it.Maybe the Lord will see how much I’m suffering. Maybe he’ll bring back to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse I’m hearing today.”

God, you see the problems of people in trouble. You take note of their pain. You do something about it. So those who are attacked place themselves in your care. You help children whose fathers have died.

Those who have not shown mercy will not receive mercy when they are judged. To show mercy is better than to judge.

“ Have pity on me, my friends! Please have pity! God has struck me down with his powerful hand.Why do you chase after me as he does? Aren’t you satisfied with what you have done to me already?

An evil person is proud and hunts down those who are weak. He catches weak people by making clever plans.

“ How long will you people make me suffer? How long will you crush me with your words?You have already accused me many times. You have attacked me without feeling any shame.

When they had nailed him to the cross, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.They sat down and kept watch over him there.Above his head they placed the written charge against him. It read, this is jesus, the king of the jews.Two rebels against Rome were crucified with him. One was on his right and one was on his left.Those who passed by shouted at Jesus and made fun of him. They shook their headsand said,“ So you are going to destroy the temple and build it again in three days? Then save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders made fun of him.“ He saved others,” they said.“ But he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross! Then we will believe in him.He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him. He’s the one who said,‘ I am the Son of God.’ ”In the same way the rebels who were being crucified with Jesus also made fun of him.From noon until three o’clock, the whole land was covered with darkness.About three o’clock, Jesus cried out in a loud voice. He said,“ Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” This means“ My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”( Psalm 22:1)

Blessed are those who show mercy. They will be shown mercy.
