• Ps 22:1-9 : 1 For the director, to the tune of 'The Doe of the Morning,' a psalm of David. 2 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Far from saving me, from the words of my groaning. 3 My God, I call out by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest. 4 Yet you are holy, enthroned upon the praises of Israel. 5 In you our ancestors trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. 6 To you they cried out and were delivered; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. 7 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. 8 All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads: 9 'Commit yourself to the LORD; let Him deliver him! Let Him rescue him, since He delights in him.' 10 Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me secure on my mother’s breasts. 11 From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother’s womb, you have been my God. 12 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near, and there is no one to help. 13 Many bulls surround me; strong ones of Bashan encircle me. 14 They open their mouths against me, like a lion ripping and roaring. 15 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts within me. 16 My strength is dried up like a broken piece of pottery, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. 17 Dogs surround me; a band of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet. 18 I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. 19 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing. 20 But you, LORD, do not be far off; you are my strength; come quickly to help me. 21 Rescue my soul from the sword, my only life from the power of the dogs. 22 Save me from the mouth of the lion; from the horns of wild oxen, you have answered me. 23 I will declare your name to my brothers; in the assembly, I will praise you. 24 You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! 25 For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, nor has he hidden his face from him; when he cried to him for help, he heard. 26 From you comes my praise in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear him. 27 The humble will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise him. May your hearts live forever! 28 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before you, 29 for the kingdom belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations. 30 All the rich of the earth will feast and bow down; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—those who cannot keep themselves alive. 31 Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord.
• Isa 53:1-9 : 1 Who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no form or majesty to attract us to him, and no appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Like one from whom people hide their faces, he was despised, and we did not esteem him. 4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray; each of us has turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. 8 By oppression and judgment, he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people, he was punished. 9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer. When you make his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. 11 After his suffering, he will see the result and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death and was numbered with the transgressors. He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
• Dan 9:24-26 : 24 Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place. 25 Know and understand this: From the issuance of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the Prince, will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets and a moat, but in difficult times. 26 After the sixty-two weeks, the Anointed One will be cut off and have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood, and desolation has been decreed until the end of the war.
• Ps 69:1-9 : 1 For the choir director: A song to be sung to the tune of 'Lilies.' A psalm of David. 2 Save me, God, because the waters have come up to my neck. 3 I am sinking in deep mire where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, and the current has overwhelmed me. 4 I am tired of calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes are worn out from looking for my God. 5 More numerous than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; powerful are those who seek to destroy me with lies. What I did not steal must I now restore? 6 God, you know my foolishness, and my guilt is not hidden from you. 7 Let those who hope in you, Lord God of Hosts, not be ashamed because of me; let those who seek you, God of Israel, not be humiliated because of me. 8 For I have endured insult for your sake, and shame has covered my face. 9 I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s sons. 10 For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me. 11 I wept and fasted, but it brought reproach on me. 12 I wore sackcloth as my clothing and became a byword to them. 13 Those who sit at the gate talk about me, and drunkards make up songs about me. 14 But as for me, my prayer is to you, Lord, at an acceptable time. God, in your abundant love, answer me with your salvation, which is sure. 15 Rescue me from the mud, and do not let me sink. Deliver me from those who hate me, and from the deep waters. 16 Do not let the floodwaters overwhelm me; do not let the deep swallow me up, or let the pit close its mouth over me. 17 Answer me, LORD, because your steadfast love is good; in your abundant compassion, turn to me. 18 Do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Hurry and answer me. 19 Come near to my soul and redeem it; because of my enemies, ransom me. 20 You know my reproach, my shame, and my disgrace; all my adversaries are before you. 21 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none; for comforters, but I found no one. 22 They gave me poison for food, and for my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink. 23 Let their table before them become a snare, and their security a trap. 24 Let their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their bodies always shake and tremble. 25 Pour out your indignation on them, and let your fierce anger overtake them. 26 Let their encampments be desolate; may no one dwell in their tents. 27 For they persecute those you have struck, and they recount the pain of those you have wounded. 28 Add guilt to their guilt, and let them not enter into your righteousness. 29 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be recorded with the righteous. 30 But I am afflicted and in pain; your salvation, O God, will set me up on high. 31 I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. 32 This will please the LORD more than an ox, or a bull with horns and hooves. 33 The humble see it and rejoice; you who seek God, may your hearts live. 34 For the LORD hears the needy and does not despise his prisoners. 35 Let the heavens and the earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them. 36 For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah. They will dwell there and possess it.
