The One Who Rescues Me - Psalm 38-41

Do Not Forsake Me, O Yahweh

Psalm 38:21-22 LSB

Do not forsake me, O Yahweh;

O my God, do not be far from me! Make haste to help me,

O Lord, my salvation!

Yahweh, Make Me Know My End

Psalm 39:1 LSB — For the choir director. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

I said, “I will keep watch over my ways

That I may not sin with my tongue;

I will keep watch over my mouth as with a muzzle

While the wicked are in my presence.”

Psalm 39:9 LSB — “I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,

Because it is You who have done it.

The One Who Rescues Me

Psalm 40:1-3 LSB

For the choir director. Of David. A Psalm.

I hoped earnestly for Yahweh;

And He inclined to me and heard my cry for help. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay,

And He set my feet upon a high rock, He established my steps. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;

Many will see and fear

And will trust in Yahweh.

Psalm 40:6-7 LSB

Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;

My ears You have opened;

Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. Then I said, “Behold, I come;

In the scroll of the book it is written of me.

Hebrews 10:8-10 LSB — After saying above, “SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them” (which are offered according to the Law), then He said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

O Yahweh, Be Gracious to Me

Psalm 41:9 LSB — Even my close friend in whom I trusted,

Who ate my bread,

Has lifted up his heel against me.

John 13:26 LSB — Jesus answered, “He is the one for whom I shall dip the piece of bread and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the piece of bread, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
