Into your hands I commend my spirit

(Luke 23:44-49)

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, || Do not let me be ashamed for all time, || In Your righteousness deliver me.

Incline Your ear to me quickly, deliver me, || Be to me for a strong rock, || For a house of bulwarks to save me.

For You [are] my rock and my bulwark, || For Your Name’s sake lead me and tend me.

Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, || For You [are] my strength.

Into Your hand I commit my spirit, || You have redeemed me, YHWH God of truth.

I have hated the observers of lying vanities, || And I have been confident toward YHWH.

I rejoice, and am glad in Your kindness, || In that You have seen my affliction, || You have known my soul in adversities.

And You have not shut me up, || Into the hand of an enemy, || You have caused my feet to stand in a broad place.

Favor me, O YHWH, for distress [is] to me, || My eye, my soul, and my body || Have become old by provocation.

For my life has been consumed in sorrow || And my years in sighing. My strength has been feeble because of my iniquity, || And my bones have become old.

I have been a reproach among all my adversaries, || And to my neighbors exceedingly, || And a fear to my acquaintances, || Those seeing me without—fled from me.

I have been forgotten as dead, out of mind, || I have been as a perishing vessel.

For I have heard an evil account of many, || Fear [is] all around. In their being united against me, || They have devised to take my life,

And I have trusted on You, || O YHWH, I have said, “You [are] my God.”

In Your hand [are] my times, || Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, || And from my pursuers.

Cause Your face to shine on Your servant, || Save me in Your kindness.

O YHWH, do not let me be ashamed, || For I have called You, let the wicked be ashamed, || Let them become silent to Sheol.

Let lips of falsehood become mute, || That are speaking against the righteous, || Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.

How abundant is Your goodness, || That You have laid up for those fearing You, || You have worked for those trusting in You, || Before sons of men.

You hide them in the secret place of Your presence, || From schemes of man, || You conceal them in a dwelling place, || From the strife of tongues.

Blessed [is] YHWH, || For He has made His kindness marvelous || To me in a city of bulwarks.

And I have said in my haste, “I have been cut off from before Your eyes,” || But You have heard the voice of my supplications, || In my crying to You.

Love YHWH, all you His saints, || YHWH is keeping the faithful, || And repaying a proud doer abundantly.

Be strong, and He strengthens your heart, || All you who are waiting for YHWH!

Into your hands I commend my spirit

(Luke 23:44-49)

In you, LORD, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.

Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.

I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in the LORD.

I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.

Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.

For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.

Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.

I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.

For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.

But I trust in you, LORD. I said, “You are my God.”

My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.

Let me not be disappointed, LORD, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.(a)

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

Praise be to the LORD, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.

As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

Oh love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.
