The ropes of death were wrapped around me. The horrors of the grave came over me. I was overcome by sadness and sorrow.

Lord, I cry out to you because I’m suffering so deeply.

Jesus said,“ My food is to do what my Father sent me to do. My food is to finish his work.

The ropes of death were almost wrapped around me. A destroying flood swept over me.The ropes of the grave were tight around me. Death set its trap in front of me.

I have suffered very much. Lord, keep me alive as you have promised.

I take delight in obeying your commands because I love them.

Show me your tender love so that I can live. I take delight in your law.

I take delight in your orders. I won’t fail to obey your word. Gimel

I have so many troubles I’m about to die.People think my life is over. I’m like someone who doesn’t have any strength.People treat me as if I were dead. I’m like those who have been killed and are now in the grave. You don’t even remember them anymore. They are cut off from your care.It’s as if you have put me deep down in the grave. It’s as if you have put me in that deep, dark place.Your great anger lies heavy on me. All the waves of your anger have crashed over me.You have taken my closest friends away from me. You have made me sickening to them. I feel trapped and can’t escape.I’m crying so much I can’t see very well. Lord, I call out to you every day. I lift up my hands to you in prayer.Do you do wonderful things for those who are dead? Do their spirits rise up and praise you?Do those who are dead speak about your love? Do those who are in the grave tell how faithful you are?Are your wonderful deeds known in that dark place? Are your holy acts known in that land where the dead are forgotten?Lord, I cry out to you for help. In the morning I pray to you.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.Your great anger has swept over me. Your terrors have destroyed me.All day long they surround me like a flood. They have closed in all around me.You have taken my friends and neighbors away from me. Darkness is my closest friend.

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.”

I haven’t disobeyed his commands. I’ve treasured his words more than my daily bread.
