1 Have mercy on me, O God, for they trample over me; ♦︎
all day long they assault and oppress me.
2 My adversaries trample over me all the day long; ♦︎
many are they that make proud war against me.
3 In the day of my fear I put my trust in you, ♦︎
in God whose word I praise.
4 In God I trust, and will not fear, ♦︎
for what can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they wound me with words; ♦︎
their every thought is to do me evil.
6 They stir up trouble; they lie in wait; ♦︎
marking my steps, they seek my life.
7 Shall they escape for all their wickedness? ♦︎
In anger, O God, cast the peoples down.
8 You have counted up my groaning;
put my tears into your bottle; ♦︎
are they not written in your book?
9 Then shall my enemies turn back
on the day when I call upon you; ♦︎
this I know, for God is on my side.
10 In God whose word I praise,
in the Lord whose word I praise, ♦︎
in God I trust and will not fear:
what can flesh do to me?
11 To you, O God, will I fulfil my vows; ♦︎
to you will I present my offerings of thanks,
12 For you will deliver my soul from death
and my feet from falling, ♦︎
that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

14 Since, then, we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested* as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
5Every high priest chosen from among mortals is put in charge of things pertaining to God on their behalf, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is subject to weakness; 3and because of this he must offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. 4And one does not presume to take this honour, but takes it only when called by God, just as Aaron was.
