1 How long will you forget me, O Lord; for ever? ♦︎
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long shall I have anguish in my soul
and grief in my heart, day after day? ♦︎
How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look upon me and answer, O Lord my God; ♦︎
lighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, ♦︎
and my foes rejoice that I have fallen.
5 But I put my trust in your steadfast love; ♦︎
my heart will rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord, ♦︎
for he has dealt so bountifully with me.
1 If the Lord himself had not been on our side, ♦︎
now may Israel say;
2 If the Lord had not been on our side, ♦︎
when enemies rose up against us;
3 Then would they have swallowed us alive ♦︎
when their anger burned against us;
4 Then would the waters have overwhelmed us
and the torrent gone over our soul; ♦︎
over our soul would have swept the raging waters.
5 But blessed be the Lord ♦︎
who has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.
6 Our soul has escaped
as a bird from the snare of the fowler; ♦︎
the snare is broken and we are delivered.
7 Our help is in the name of the Lord, ♦︎
who has made heaven and earth.

12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. 13Then the Pharisees said to him, You are testifying on your own behalf; your testimony is not valid. 14Jesus answered, Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I have come from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15You judge by human standards;* I judge no one. 16Yet even if I do judge, my judgement is valid; for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father* who sent me. 17In your law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is valid. 18I testify on my own behalf, and the Father who sent me testifies on my behalf. 19Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also. 20He spoke these words while he was teaching in the treasury of the temple, but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
