Psalm 31: 9-16

9 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am in distress. Tears blur my eyes. My body and soul are withering away.

10 I am dying from grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Sin has drained my strength; I am wasting away from within.

11 I am scorned by all my enemies and despised by my neighbors�even my friends are afraid to come near me. When they see me on the street, they run the other way.

12 I am ignored as if I were dead, as if I were a broken pot.

13 I have heard the many rumors about me, and I am surrounded by terror. My enemies conspire against me, plotting to take my life.

14 But I am trusting you, O Lord, saying, �You are my God!�

15 My future is in your hands. Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly.

16 Let your favor shine on your servant. In your unfailing love, rescue me.

Psalms 31:9-16 (NLT)

Lamentations 3: 55-66

55 I called on your name, O LORD, from the depths of the pit;

56 you heard my plea, "Do not close your ear to my cry for help, but give me relief!"

57 You came near when I called on you; you said, "Do not fear!"

58 You have taken up my cause, O Lord, you have redeemed my life.

59 You have seen the wrong done to me, O LORD; judge my cause.

60 You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me.

61 You have heard their taunts, O LORD, all their plots against me.

62 The whispers and murmurs of my assailants are against me all day long.

63 Whether they sit or rise--see, I am the object of their taunt-songs.

64 Pay them back for their deeds, O LORD, according to the work of their hands!

65 Give them anguish of heart; your curse be on them!

66 Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the LORD's heavens.

Lam 3:55-66 (NRSV)

Mark 10:32-34

32 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. 33 "We are going up to Jerusalem," he said, "and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 34 who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise."

Mark 10:32-34 (NIV)
