the torment of the afflicted.

but listened when he cried to Him for help.

and delivered me from all my fears.

He took note of their distress,

He hears their cry for help and saves them.

In all their suffering, He suffered,

and the Angel of His Presence saved them.
He redeemed them
because of His love and compassion;
He lifted them up and carried them
all the days of the past.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin.

By reason

Although my spirit is weak within me,
You know my way.

Along this path I travel
they have hidden a trap for me.
