Me, and I ate ashes like bread, and mingled My drink with weeping.
Keep Me, O Lord, from
the hand of the wicked, and deliver Me from unjust men who have proposed to
supplant My steps. Give Me not up, O Lord, to the wicked; deliver Me not over to
the will of them
that trouble Me. They have plotted against Me. Do not Thou forsake Me, lest they
should triumph.
I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living. Expect
the Lord, do
manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.
Psalm 26: 12- 14; Psalm 101:4-5, 9-10;
Psalm 108:2-5: Psalm 139:2-6, 9
The Lord God hath opened My ear, and I do not resist: I have not gone back. I
have given My body to
the strikers, and My cheeks to them that plucked them. I have not turned away My
face from them
that rebuked Me and spit upon Me. The Lord God is My helper. Therefore am I not
confounded;
therefore have I set My face as a most hard rock, and I know that I shall not be
confounded.
Isaias 50:5-7
