Die The Text

1. “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my anguished cries?
My God, by day I call to you, but You don’t answer; likewise at night, but I get no relief.

2. “Yeshua went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane… Grief and anguish came over him, and he said to them, ‘My heart is so filled with sadness that I could die!’… he fell on his face, praying, ‘Abba! All things are possible for You. Take this cup away from me! Still, not what I want, but what You want'”

“Nevertheless, You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted, and You rescued them.
They cried to You and escaped; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.
But I am a worm, not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
All who see me jeer at me; they sneer and shake their heads;
‘He committed himself to Adonai, so let Him rescue him! Let Him set him free if he takes such delight in Him!’

3. People passing by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, ‘Aha! So you can destroy the Temple, can you, and rebuild it in three days? Save yourself and come down from the stake!’

“But You are the One who took me from the womb,
You made me trust when I was on my mother’s breasts.
Since my birth I’ve been thrown on You; You are my God from my mother’s womb.

4. [Yeshua] said to his mother, “Mother, this is your son.” Then to [his disciple John], “This is your mother.”

“Don’t stay far from me, for trouble is near; and there is no one to help.
Many bulls surround me, wild bulls of Bashan close in on me.
They open their mouths wide against me, like ravening, roaring lions.
I am poured out like water; all of my bones are out of joint;
my heart has become like wax – it melts inside me;
my mouth is as dry as a fragment of a pot, my tongue sticks to my palate;

5. Yeshua said “I’m thirsty.”

6. Immediately one of [the bystanders] ran and took a sponge, soaked it in vinegar, put it on a stick and gave it to him to drink.

“You lay me down in the dust of death.
Dogs are all around me, a pack of villains closes in on me;
They have pierced my hands and feet.
I can count every one of my bones, while they gaze at me and gloat.
They divide my garments among themselves; for my clothing they throw dice.

7. After they had nailed him to the stake, they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice.

“But You, Adonai, don’t stay far away!
My Strength, come quickly to help me!
Rescue me from the sword, my life from the power of the dogs.
Save me from the lion’s mouth!
You have answered me from the wild bulls’ horns.
I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; right there in the assembly I will praise You:
You who fear Adonai, praise Him!
All descendants of Jacob, glorify Him!
All descendants of Israel, stand in awe of Him!
For He has not despised or abhorred the poverty of the poor;
He did not hide His face from him but listened to his cry.
Because of You I give praise in the great assembly;
I will fulfill my vows in the sight of those who fear Him.
The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek Adonai will praise Him;
Your hearts will enjoy life forever.
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Adonai;
all the clans of the nations will worship in Your presence.
For the kingdom belongs to Adonai, and He rules the nations.
All who prosper on earth will feast and worship;
all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him, including him who can’t keep himself alive.
A descendant will serve him;
the next generation will be told of Adonai.
They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn, for He has done it.”

8. [Yeshua] said, “It is accomplished”. Crying out with a loud voice, Yeshua said, “Father! Into Your hands I commit my spirit.” With these words he gave up his spirit.
