願爾納我禱。聽我聲聲訴。

I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.

For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.

For my life is full of troubles, and death draws near.

For I have had enough troubles, and my life is near Sheol.

They refused to eat anything. They came close to passing through the gates of death.

He took Peter, James and John along with him. He began to be very upset and troubled.“ My soul is very sad. I feel close to death,” he said to them.“ Stay here. Keep watch.”

My enemies chase me. They crush me down to the ground. They make me live in the darkness like those who died long ago.So I grow weak. Deep down inside me, I’m afraid.

Don’t turn your face away from me. Answer me quickly. I’m in trouble.Come near and save me. Set me free from my enemies.You know how they make fun of me. They dishonor me and put me to shame. You know all about my enemies.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.

People looked down on him. They didn’t accept him. He knew all about pain and suffering. He was like someone people turn their faces away from. We looked down on him. We didn’t have any respect for him.

He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him. He began to be sad and troubled.Then he said to them,“ My soul is very sad. I feel close to death. Stay here. Keep watch with me.”He went a little farther. Then he fell with his face to the ground. He prayed,“ My Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering away from me. But let what you want be done, not what I want.”

The Lord says,“ It was my plan to crush him and cause him to suffer. I made his life an offering to pay for sin. But he will see all his children after him. In fact, he will continue to live. My plan will be brought about through him.After he has suffered, he will see the light of life. And he will be satisfied. My godly servant will make many people godly because of what he will accomplish. He will be punished for their sins.

Don’t be far away from me. Trouble is near, and there is no one to help me.Many enemies are all around me. They are like strong bulls from the land of Bashan.They are like roaring lions that tear to pieces what they kill. They open their mouths wide to attack me.My strength is like water that is poured out on the ground. I feel as if my bones aren’t connected. My heart has turned to wax. It has melted away inside me.My mouth is dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You bring me down to the edge of the grave.A group of sinful people has closed in on me. They are all around me like a pack of dogs. They have pierced my hands and my feet.Everyone can see all my bones right through my skin. People stare at me. They laugh when I suffer.They divide up my clothes among them. They cast lots for what I am wearing.Lord, don’t be so far away from me. You give me strength. Come quickly to help me.Save me from being killed by the sword. Save the only life I have. Save me from the power of those dogs.Save me from the mouths of those lions. Save me from the horns of those wild oxen.

They rose up to the heavens. Then they went down deep into the ocean. In that kind of danger the people’s boldness melted away.

When I was in trouble, I looked to the Lord for help. During the night I lifted up my hands in prayer. But I refused to be comforted.

“ I wish my great pain could be weighed! I wish all my suffering could be weighed on scales!I’m sure it would weigh more than the grains of sand on the seashore. No wonder I’ve been so quick to speak!The Mighty One has shot me with his arrows. I have to drink their poison. God’s terrors are aimed at me.

Lord, why do you say no to me? Why do you turn your face away from me?I’ve been in pain ever since I was young. I’ve been close to death. You have made me suffer terrible things. I have lost all hope.

They might approach the very edge of the grave. The messengers of death might come for them.

The Lord has made my life bitter. He has made me suffer bitterly.He made me chew stones that broke my teeth. He has walked all over me in the dust.I have lost all hope of ever having any peace. I’ve forgotten what good times are like.So I say,“ My glory has faded away. My hope in the Lord is gone.”I remember how I suffered and wandered. I remember how bitter my life was.
