Daytime prayer, Friday 13th March 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 22
God hears the suffering of his Holy One<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus cried with a loud voice: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?\u00a0<\/em>(Matthew 27:46)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

II<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many bulls have surrounded me, *
fierce bulls of Bashan close me in.
Against me they open wide their jaws, *
like lions, rending and roaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like water I am poured out, *
disjointed are all my bones.
My heart has become like wax, *
it is melted within my breast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parched as burnt clay is my throat, *
my tongue cleaves to my jaws.
Many dogs have surrounded me, *
a band of the wicked beset me.
They tear holes in my hands and my feet *
and lay me in the dust of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can count every one of my bones. *
These people stare at me and gloat;
they divide my clothing among them. *
They cast lots for my robe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Lord, do not leave me alone, *
my strength, make haste to help me!
Rescue my soul from the sword, *
my life from the grip of these dogs.
Save my life from the jaws of these lions, *
my poor soul from the horns of these oxen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will tell of your name to my brethren *
and praise you where they are assembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18017,"template":"","rizors":[],"yoast_head":"\nO Lord, do not leave me alone - Behold<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/behold.mt\/en\/talba-bis-salmi\/o-lord-do-not-leave-me-alone-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"O Lord, do not leave me alone - Behold\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Daytime prayer, Friday 13th March 2026 Psalm 22God hears the suffering of his Holy One Jesus cried with a loud voice: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?\u00a0(Matthew 27:46) II Many bulls have surrounded me, *fierce bulls of Bashan close me in.Against me they open wide their jaws, *like lions, rending and roaring...
