Psalms 34:18

34:18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted;

he delivers those who are discouraged.

Psalms 69:20-29

69:20 Their insults are painful and make me lose heart;

I look for sympathy, but receive none,

for comforters, but find none.

69:21 They put bitter poison into my food,

and to quench my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.

69:22 May their dining table become a trap before them!

May it be a snare for that group of friends!

69:23 May their eyes be blinded!

Make them shake violently!

69:24 Pour out your judgment on them!

May your raging anger overtake them!

69:25 May their camp become desolate,

their tents uninhabited!

69:26 For they harass the one whom you discipline;

they spread the news about the suffering of those whom you punish.

69:27 Hold them accountable for all their sins!

Do not vindicate them!

69:28 May their names be deleted from the scroll of the living!

Do not let their names be listed with the godly!

69:29 I am oppressed and suffering!

O God, deliver and protect me!

Psalms 69:2

69:2 I sink into the deep mire

where there is no solid ground;

I am in deep water,

and the current overpowers me.

Psalms 16:11

16:11 You lead me in the path of life;

I experience absolute joy in your presence;

you always give me sheer delight.

Psalms 16:1

Psalm 16

A prayer of David.

16:1 Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in you.

Mark 14:34-36

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.”
