2 O Lord, listen to my prayer
and let my cry for help reach you.
3 Do not hide your face from me
in the day of my distress.
Turn your ear towards me
and answer me quickly when I call.

4 For my days are vanishing like smoke,
my bones burn away like a fire.
5 My heart is withered like the grass.
I forget to eat my bread.
6 I cry with all my strength
and my skin clings to my bones.

7 I have become like a pelican in the wilderness
like an owl in desolate places.
8 I lie awake and I moan
like some lonely bird on a roof.
9 All day long my foes revile me;
those who hate me use my name as a curse.

10 The bread I eat is ashes;
my drink is mingled with tears.
11 In your anger, Lord, and your fury
you have lifted me up and thrown me down.
12 My days are like a passing shadow
and I wither away like the grass.

13 But you, O Lord, will endure for ever
and your name from age to age.
14 You will arise and have mercy on Zion:
for this is the time to have mercy,
(yes, the time appointed has come)
15 for your servants love her very stones,
are moved with pity even for her dust.

16 The nations shall fear the name of the Lord

that a people yet unborn may praise the Lord;
20 for the Lord leaned down from his sanctuary on high.
He looked down from heaven to the earth
21 that he might hear the groans of the prisoners
and free those condemned to die.

29 The sons of your servants shall dwell untroubled
and their race shall endure before you
22 that the name of the Lord may be proclaimed in Zion
and his praise in the heart of Jerusalem,
23 when peoples and kingdoms are gathered together
to pay their homage to the Lord.

24 He has broken my strength in mid-course;
he has shortened the days of my life.
25 I say to God: “Do not take me away
before my day are complete,
you, whose days last from age to age.

26 Long ago you founded the earth
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
27 They will perish but you will remain.
They will are wear out like a garment.
You will change them like clothes that are changed.
28 But you neither change, nor have an end.”

Question 17

107

Answer 17

DISK / sailed

Some sailed to the sea in ships
to trade on the mighty waters. These men have seen the Lord’s deeds, the wonders he does in the deep.

1 “O give thanks to the Lord for he is good;
for his love endures for ever.”

2 Let them say this, the Lord’s redeemed,
whom he redeemed from the hand of the foe
3 and gathered from far-off lands,
from east and west, north and south.

4 Some wandered in the desert, in the wilderness,
finding no way to a city they could dwell in.
5 Hungry they were and thirsty;
their soul was fainting within them.

6 Then they cried to the Lord in their need
and he rescued them from their distress
7 and he led them along the right way,
to reach a city they could dwell in.

8 Let them thank the Lord for his love,
for the wonders he does for men:
9 for he satisfies the thirsty soul;
he fills the hungry with good things.

10 Some lay in darkness and in gloom,
prisoners in misery and chains,
11 having defied the words of God
and spurned the counsels of the Most High.
12 He crushed their spirit with toil;
they stumbled; there was no one to help.

13 Then they cried to the Lord in their need
and he rescued them from their distress.
14 He led them forth from darkness and gloom
and broke their chains to pieces.

15 Let them thank the Lord for his goodness,
for the wonders he does for men:
16 for he bursts the gates of bronze
and shatters the iron bars.

17 Some were sick on account of their sins
and afflicted on account of their guilt.
18 They had a loathing for every food;
they came close to the gates of death.

19 Then they cried to the Lord in their need
and he rescued them from their distress.
20 He sent forth his word to heal them
and saved their life from the grave.

21 Let them thank the Lord for his love,
for the wonders he does for men.
22 Let them offer a sacrifice of thanks
and tell of his deeds with rejoicing.

23 Some sailed to the sea in ships
to trade on the mighty waters.
24 These men have seen the Lord’s deeds,
the wonders he does in the deep.

25 For he spoke; he summoned the gale,
tossing the waves of the sea
26 up to heaven and back into the deep;
their souls melted away in their distress.

27 They staggered, reeled like drunken men,
for all their skill was gone.
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their need
and he rescued them from their distress.

29 He stilled the storm to a whisper:
all the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 They rejoiced because of the calm
and he led them to the haven they desired.

31 Let them thank the Lord for his love,
for the wonders he does for men.
32 Let them exalt him in the gathering of the people
and praise him in the meeting of the elders.

33 He changes streams into a desert,
springs of water into thirsty ground,
34 fruitful land into a salty waste,
for the wickedness of those who live there.

35 But he changes desert into streams,
thirsty ground into springs of water.
36 There he settles the hungry
and they build a city to dwell in.

37 They sow fields and plant their vines;
these yield crops for the harvest.
38 He blesses them; they grow in numbers.
He does not let their herds decrease.

40 He pours contempt upon princes,
makes them wander in trackless wastes.
39 They diminish, are reduced to nothing
by oppression, evil and sorrow.

41 But he raises the needy from distress;
makes families numerous as a flock.
42 The upright see it and rejoice
but all who do wrong are silenced.

43 Whoever is wise, let him heed these things.
And consider the love of the Lord.

and your truth to the skies.

help with your right hand and reply.
8 From his holy place God has made this promise;
“I will triumph and divide the land of Shechem,
I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

Ephraim I take for my helmet,
Judah for my commander’s staff.
10 Moab I will use for my washbowl,
on Edom I will plant my shoe.
Over the Philistines I will shout in triumph.”

11 But who will lead me to conquer the fortress?
Who will bring me face to face with Edom?
12 Will you utterly reject us, O God,
and no longer march with our armies?

13 Give us help against the foe,
for the help of man is vain.

and he will trample down our foes

Question 19

109

Answer 19

DISOBEY / cloak

They may curse, but you will bless. Let my attackers be put to shame, but let your servant rejoice. Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor, covered with shame as with a cloak.

1 O God whom I praise, do not be silent,
2 for the mouths of deceit and wickedness
are opened against me.

3 They speak to me with lying tongues;
they beset me with words of hate
and attack me without cause.

4 In return for my love they accuse me
while I pray for them.
5 They repay me evil for good,
hatred for love.

6 Appoint a wicked man as his judge;
let an accuser stand at his right.
7 When he is judged let him come out condemned;
let his prayer be considered as sin.

8 Let the days of his life be few;
let another man take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless orphans
and his wife become a widow.

10 Let his children be wanderers and beggars
driven from the ruins of their home.
11 Let the creditor seize all his goods;
let strangers take the fruit of his work.

12 Let no one show him any mercy
nor pity his fatherless children.
13 Let all his sons be destroyed
and with them their names be blotted out.

14 Let his father’s guilt be remembered,
his mother’s be retained.
15 Let it always stand before the Lord,
that their memory be cut off from the earth.

16 For he did not think of showing mercy
but pursed the poor and the needy,
17 hounding the wretched to death.
He loved cursing; let curses fall upon him.
He scorned blessing; let blessing pass him by.

18 He put on cursing like his coat;
let it sink into his body like water;
let it sink like oil into his bones;
19 let it be like the clothes that cover him,
like a girdle he cannot take off!

20 Let the Lord thus repay my accusers,
all those who speak evil against me.
21 For your name’s sake act in my defense;
in the goodness of your love be my rescuer.

22 For I am poor and needy
and my heart is pierced within me.
23 I fade like an evening shadow;
I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees are weak from fasting;
my body is thin and gaunt.
25 I have become an object of scorn,
all who see me toss their heads.

26 Help me, Lord my God;
save me because of your love.
27 Let them know that is your work,
That this is your doing, O Lord.

28 They may curse but you will bless.
Let my attackers be put to shame,
but let your servant rejoice.
29 Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor,
covered with shame as with a cloak.

30 Loud thanks to the Lord are on my lips.
I will praise him in the midst of the throng,
31 for he stands at the poor man’s side
to save him from those who condemn him.
