Psalms 22:1-21
Psalm 22
For the music director; according to the tune “Morning Doe;” a psalm of David.
22:1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
I groan in prayer, but help seems far away.
22:2 My God, I cry out during the day,
but you do not answer,
and during the night my prayers do not let up.
22:3 You are holy;
you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel.
22:4 In you our ancestors trusted;
they trusted in you and you rescued them.
22:5 To you they cried out, and they were saved;
in you they trusted and they were not disappointed.
22:6 But I am a worm, not a man;
people insult me and despise me.
22:7 All who see me taunt me;
they mock me and shake their heads.
22:8 They say,
“Commit yourself to the Lord!
Let the Lord rescue him!
Let the Lord deliver him, for he delights in him.”
22:9 Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womb
and made me feel secure on my mother’s breasts.
22:10 I have been dependent on you since birth;
from the time I came out of my mother’s womb you have been my God.
22:11 Do not remain far away from me,
for trouble is near and I have no one to help me.
22:12 Many bulls surround me;
powerful bulls of Bashan hem me in.
22:13 They open their mouths to devour me
like a roaring lion that rips its prey.
22:14 My strength drains away like water;
all my bones are dislocated;
my heart is like wax;
it melts away inside me.
22:15 The roof of my mouth is as dry as a piece of pottery;
my tongue sticks to my gums.
You set me in the dust of death.
22:16 Yes, wild dogs surround me –
a gang of evil men crowd around me;
like a lion they pin my hands and feet.
22:17 I can count all my bones;
my enemies are gloating over me in triumph.
22:18 They are dividing up my clothes among themselves;
they are rolling dice for my garments.
22:19 But you, O Lord, do not remain far away!
You are my source of strength! Hurry and help me!
22:20 Deliver me from the sword!
Save my life from the claws of the wild dogs!
22:21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lion,
and from the horns of the wild oxen!
You have answered me!

Psalm 88
A song, a psalm written by the Korahites; for the music director; according to the machalath-leannoth style; a well-written song by Heman the Ezrachite.
88:1 O Lord God who delivers me!
By day I cry out
and at night I pray before you.
Matthew 26:28-44
26:28 for this is my blood, the blood
of the covenant,
that is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
26:29 I
tell you, from now on I will not drink of this fruit
of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
26:30 After
singing a hymn,
they went out to the Mount of Olives.
The Prediction of Peter’s Denial
26:31 Then Jesus said to them, “This night you will all fall away because of me, for it is written:
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
26:32 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
26:33 Peter said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!”
26:34 Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, on this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
26:35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.” And all the disciples said the same thing.
Gethsemane
26:36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
26:37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became anguished and distressed.
26:38 Then he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.”
26:39 Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
26:40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour?
26:41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.”
26:43 He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open.
26:44 So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing once more.
Mark 14:32-39
Gethsemane
14:32 Then they went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
14:33 He took Peter, James, and John with him, and became very troubled and distressed.
14:34 He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay alert.”
14:35 Going a little farther, he threw himself to the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour would pass from him.
14:36 He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
14:37 Then he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you stay awake for one hour?
14:38 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
14:39 He went away again and prayed the same thing.
Leviticus 2:2
2:2 Then he must bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and the priest
must scoop out from there a handful of its choice wheat flour and some of its olive oil in addition to all of its frankincense, and the priest must offer its memorial portion
up in smoke on the altar – it is
a gift of a soothing aroma to the
Lord.
Leviticus 4:4-14
4:4 He must bring the bull to the entrance of the Meeting Tent before the
Lord, lay his hand on the head of the bull, and slaughter the bull before the
Lord.
4:5 Then that high priest must take some of the blood
of the bull and bring it to the Meeting Tent.
4:6 The priest must dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle
some of it
seven times before the
Lord toward
the front of the veil-canopy
of the sanctuary.
4:7 The priest must put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the
Lord in the Meeting Tent, and all the rest of the bull’s blood he must pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.
4:8 “‘Then he must take up all the fat from the sin offering bull: the fat covering the entrails and all the fat surrounding the entrails,
4:9 the two kidneys with the fat on their sinews, and the protruding lobe on the liver (which he is to remove along with the kidneys)
4:10 – just as it is taken from the ox of the peace offering sacrifice – and the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering.
4:11 But the hide of the bull, all its flesh along with its head and its legs, its entrails, and its dung –
4:12 all the rest of the bull – he must bring outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place, to the fatty ash pile, and he must burn it on a wood fire; it must be burned on the fatty ash pile.
For the Whole Congregation
4:13 “‘If the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter is not noticed by the assembly, and they violate one of the Lord’s commandments, which must not be violated, so they become guilty,
4:14 the assembly must present a young bull for a sin offering when the sin they have committed becomes known. They must bring it before the Meeting Tent,
