The Psalm of the Cross

(Matthew 27:32-56; Mark 15:21-41; Luke 23:26-43; John 19:16-30)
1
Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David.
2
O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
3
O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
4
But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.
5
In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
6
They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
7
But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
8
All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
9
He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
10
For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
11
I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother’s womb thou art my God,
12
Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.
13
Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.
14
They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.
15
I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.
16
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
17
For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet.
18
They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.
19
They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
20
But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.
21
Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog.
22
Save me from the lion’s mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
23
I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
24
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
25
Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.
26
With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
27
The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
28
All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight.
29
For the kingdom is the Lord’s; and he shall have dominion over the nations.
30
All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
31
And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him.
32
There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.

The Psalm of the Cross

(Matthew 27:32-56; Mark 15:21-41; Luke 23:26-43; John 19:16-30)
1
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
2
My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.
3
But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
4
Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.
5
They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.
6
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
7
All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
8
He trusts in the LORD. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”
9
But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.
10
I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.
11
Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.
12
Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13
They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.
14
I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within me.
15
My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.
16
For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.(a)
17
I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
18
They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.
19
But don’t be far off, LORD. You are my help. Hurry to help me!
20
Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.
21
Save me from the lion’s mouth! Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen.
22
I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.
23
You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
24
For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
25
My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
26
The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.
27
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
28
For the kingdom is the LORD’s. He is the ruler over the nations.
29
All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can’t keep his soul alive.
30
Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
31
They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.
