When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me and from the snares of evildoers!
The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah
And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.” And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
May a cry be heard from their houses, when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them! For they have dug a pit to take me and laid snares for my feet.
Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled.
from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I,
You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread.
When I remember God, I moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life.
For without cause they hid their net for me; without cause they dug a pit for my life. Let destruction come upon him when he does not know it! And let the net that he hid ensnare him; let him fall into it—to his destruction!
you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.
Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words.
You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
