Psalm 142

¹I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.
²I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
³When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
⁴I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
⁵I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
⁶Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
⁷Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

Psalm 143

¹Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
²And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
³For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
⁴Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
⁵I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
⁶I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
⁷Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
⁸Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
⁹Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
¹⁰Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
¹¹Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
¹²And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

⁴⁰Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.
⁴¹Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
⁴²We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
⁴³Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
⁴⁴Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
⁴⁵Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
⁴⁶All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
⁴⁷Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
⁴⁸Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
⁴⁹Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.
⁵⁰Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
⁵¹Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
⁵²Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
⁵³They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
⁵⁴Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
⁵⁵I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
⁵⁶Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
⁵⁷Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
⁵⁸O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

17These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
²As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
³And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
⁴I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
⁵And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
⁶I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
⁷Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
⁸For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
⁹I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
¹⁰And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
¹¹And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
¹²While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
¹³And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
¹⁴I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
¹⁵I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
¹⁶They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
¹⁷Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
¹⁸As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
²⁰Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
²¹That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
²²And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
²³I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
²⁴Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
²⁵O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
²⁶And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
