Psalms 120:1

⁶In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

²He said, “I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol^[+] I cried. You heard my voice.

⁵Out of my distress, I called on the LORD.^[+] The LORD^[+] answered me with freedom.

⁷He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

¹⁵Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

¹Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.

³They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth. ⁴It may be the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”

⁴⁴Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

¹LORD, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

¹³Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
