The Lord makes secure the footsteps of the person who delights in him,

When I’m in trouble, he will keep me safe in his house. He will hide me in the safety of his holy tent. He will put me on a rock that is very high.

I’m sinking in deep mud. I have no firm place to stand. I am out in deep water. The waves roll over me.

Teach me how to live as you have promised. Don’t let any sin be my master.

My enemies chase me. They crush me down to the ground. They make me live in the darkness like those who died long ago.

You will not leave me in the place of the dead. You will not let your holy one rot away.You always show me the path that leads to life. You will fill me with joy when I am with you.’( Psalm 16:8–11)“ Fellow Israelites, you can be sure that King David died. He was buried. His tomb is still here today.But David was a prophet. He knew that God had made a promise to him. God had promised that he would make someone in David’s family line king after him.David saw what was coming. So he spoke about the Messiah rising from the dead. He said that the Messiah would not be left in the place of the dead. His body wouldn’t rot in the ground.

You give me a wide path to walk on so that I don’t twist my ankles.

“ So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock.The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock.

Save me from the trouble I’m in. It’s like slippery mud, so don’t let me sink in it. Save me from those who hate me. Save me from the deep water I’m in.Don’t let the floods cover me. Don’t let the deep water swallow me up. Don’t let the grave close its mouth over me.

From a place far away I call out to you. I call out as my heart gets weaker. Lead me to the safety of a rock that is high above me.

My steps have stayed on your paths. My feet have not slipped.

Great is your love for me. You have kept me from going down into the place of the dead.

But God raised him from the dead. He set him free from the suffering of death. It wasn’t possible for death to keep its hold on Jesus.

I will set your prisoners free from where their enemies are keeping them. I will do it because of the blood that put into effect my covenant with you.

You have sent many bitter troubles my way. But you will give me new life. Even if I’m almost in the grave, you will bring me back.

Listen to my cry. I am in great need. Save me from those who are chasing me. They are too strong for me.My troubles are like a prison. Set me free so I can praise your name. Then those who do what is right will gather around me because you have been good to me.

I had almost drowned in the waves. The deep waters were all around me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.I sank down to the bottom of the mountains. I thought I had died and gone down into the grave forever. But you are the Lord my God. You brought my life up from the very edge of the pit of death.

So they took Jeremiah and put him into an empty well. It belonged to Malkijah. He was a member of the royal court. His well was in the courtyard of the guard. Zedekiah’s men lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the well. It didn’t have any water in it. All it had was mud. And Jeremiah sank down into the mud.Ebed- Melek was an official in the royal palace. He was from the land of Cush. He heard that Jeremiah had been put into the well. The king was sitting by the Benjamin Gate at that time.Ebed- Melek went out of the palace. He said to the king,“ My king and master, everything these men have done to Jeremiah the prophet is evil. They have thrown him into an empty well. Soon there won’t be any more bread in the city. Then he’ll starve to death.”So the king gave an order to Ebed- Melek the Cushite. He said,“ Take with you 30 men from here. Lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the well before he dies.”Then Ebed- Melek took the men with him. He went to a room in the palace. It was under the place where the treasures were stored. He got some old rags and worn- out clothes from there. Then he let them down with ropes to Jeremiah in the well.Ebed- Melek the Cushite told Jeremiah what to do. Ebed- Melek said,“ Put these old rags and worn- out clothes under your arms. They’ll pad the ropes.” So Jeremiah did.

They will throw the evil people into the blazing furnace. There the evil ones will weep and grind their teeth.

They tried to end my life by throwing me into a deep pit. They threw stones down at me.The water rose and covered my head. I thought I was going to die.Lord, I called out to you. I called out from the bottom of the pit.

They will be brought together like prisoners in chains. They’ll be locked up in prison. After many days the Lord will punish them.
