2O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my outcry reach you. 3Do not turn your face away from me. In whatever day that I am in trouble, incline your ear to me. In whatever day that I will call upon you, heed me quickly. 4For my days have faded away like smoke, and my bones have dried out like firewood. 5I have been cut down like hay, and my heart has withered, for I had forgotten to eat my bread. 6Before the voice of my groaning, my bone has adhered to my flesh. 7I have become like a pelican in solitude. I have become like a night raven in a house. 8I have kept vigil, and I have become like a solitary sparrow on a roof. 9All day long my enemies reproached me, and those who praised me swore oaths against me. 10For I chewed on ashes like bread, and I mixed weeping into my drink. 11By the face of your anger and indignation, you lifted me up and threw me down. 12My days have declined like a shadow, and I have dried out like hay. 13But you, O Lord, endure for eternity, and your memorial is from generation to generation. 14You will rise up and take pity on Zion, for it is time for its mercy, for the time has come. 15For its stones have pleased your servants, and they will take pity on its land. 16And the Gentiles will fear your name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth your glory. 17For the Lord has built up Zion, and he will be seen in his glory. 18He has noticed the prayer of the humble, and he has not despised their petition. 19Let these things be written in another generation, and the people who will be created will praise the Lord. 20For he has gazed from his high sanctuary. From heaven, the Lord has beheld the earth. 21So may he hear the groans of those in shackles, in order that he may release the sons of the slain.
21Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: “I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go.” 22And so the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself, for he said: ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go?’” 23And he said to them: “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. 24Therefore, I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am, you will die in your sin.” 25And so they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them: “The Beginning, who is also speaking to you. 26I have much to say about you and to judge. But he who sent me is true. And what I have heard from him, this I speak within the world.” 27And they did not realize that he was calling God his Father. 28And so Jesus said to them: “When you will have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall realize that I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but just as the Father has taught me, so do I speak. 29And he who sent me is with me, and he has not abandoned me alone. For I always do what is pleasing to him.” 30As he was speaking these things, many believed in him.
