O god

Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?

I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor,
And do not go out with our armies.

For the choir director; according to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David, to teach; when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
O God, You have rejected us. You have

broken us;

You have been angry; O, restore us.

Will the Lord reject forever?
And will He never be favorable again?

Thus says the Lord,
“If the heavens above can be measured
And the foundations of the earth searched out below,
Then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel
For all that they have done,” declares the Lord.

“Have you not observed what this people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families which the Lord chose, He has rejected them’? Thus they despise My people, no longer are they as a nation in their sight.

I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Smoke

How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever?

Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

The Lord shall never be willing to forgive him, but rather the anger of the Lord and His jealousy will

burn against that man, and every curse which is written in this book will rest on him, and the Lord will blot out his name from under heaven.

The sheep

So we Your people and the sheep of Your pasture
Will give thanks to You forever;
To all generations we will tell of Your praise.

For He is our God,
And we are the people of His

pasture and the sheep of His hand.

Today, if you would hear His voice,

Know that the Lord

Himself is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

“Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!” declares the Lord.

“As I live,” declares the Lord God, “surely because My flock has become a prey, My flock has even become food for all the beasts of the field for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but rather the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock;

Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.

But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep.
