Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;

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

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!

Out of the depths I call to you, LORD!

Out of the depths I have cried to You, Lord.

Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

Out of the depths I call to You, Yahweh!

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

From the deep water I cry out to you, O LORD.

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

I hear the tumult of the raging seas as your waves and surging tides sweep over me.

They threw me into a pit and dropped stones on me.The water rose over my head, and I cried out,“ This is the end!”But I called on your name, Lord, from deep within the pit.

He said,“ I cried out to the Lord in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and Lord, you heard me!You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.Then I said,‘ O Lord, you have driven me from your presence. Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’

Save me, O God, for the floodwaters are up to my neck.Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire; I can’t find a foothold. I am in deep water, and the floods overwhelm me.

Rescue me from the mud; don’t let me sink any deeper! Save me from those who hate me, and pull me from these deep waters.Don’t let the floods overwhelm me, or the deep waters swallow me, or the pit of death devour me.

While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God.

Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.Then I called on the name of the Lord:“ Please, Lord, save me!”

You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth.

I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there?

Turn to me and have mercy, for I am alone and in deep distress.My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all!Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins.

He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.

He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters.

When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!

Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.

From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me. Let all Israel repeat this:

I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven.

What if the Lord had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat:

How joyful are those who fear the Lord— all who follow his ways!

Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.

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.But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.

I was glad when they said to me,“ Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

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. Interlude
