Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.

From the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help.

Then Jesus explained:“ My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work.

The ropes of death entangled me; floods of destruction swept over me.The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path.

I have suffered much, O Lord; restore my life again as you promised.

How I delight in your commands! How I love them!

Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live, for your instructions are my delight.

I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word. Gimel

For my life is full of troubles, and death draws near.I am as good as dead, like a strong man with no strength left.They have left me among the dead, and I lie like a corpse in a grave. I am forgotten, cut off from your care.You have thrown me into the lowest pit, into the darkest depths.Your anger weighs me down; with wave after wave you have engulfed me. InterludeYou have driven my friends away by making me repulsive to them. I am in a trap with no way of escape.My eyes are blinded by my tears. Each day I beg for your help, O Lord; I lift my hands to you for mercy.Are your wonderful deeds of any use to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? InterludeCan those in the grave declare your unfailing love? Can they proclaim your faithfulness in the place of destruction?Can the darkness speak of your wonderful deeds? Can anyone in the land of forgetfulness talk about your righteousness?O Lord, I cry out to you. I will keep on pleading day by day.O Lord, why do you reject me? Why do you turn your face from me?I have been sick and close to death since my youth. I stand helpless and desperate before your terrors.Your fierce anger has overwhelmed me. Your terrors have paralyzed me.They swirl around me like floodwaters all day long. They have engulfed me completely.You have taken away my companions and loved ones. Darkness is my closest friend.

He took Peter, James, and John with him, and he became deeply troubled and distressed.He told them,“ My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

I have not departed from his commands, but have treasured his words more than daily food.
