Psalm 2:7-12
New American Standard Bible 1995
7 “I will surely tell of the [a]decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are (A)My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 ‘Ask of Me, and (B)I will surely give (C)the [b]nations as Your inheritance,
And the very (D)ends of the earth as Your possession.
9 ‘You shall [c](E)break them with a [d]rod of iron,
You shall (F)shatter them like [e]earthenware.’”
10 Now therefore, O kings, (G)show discernment;
Take warning, O [f]judges of the earth.
11 [g]Worship the Lord with [h](H)reverence
And rejoice with (I)trembling.
12 [i]Do homage to (J)the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For (K)His wrath may [j]soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who (L)take refuge in Him!

Psalm 22:1-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
A Cry of Anguish and a Song of Praise.
For the choir director; upon [a]Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.
22 (A)My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
[b](B)Far from my deliverance are the words of my [c](C)groaning.
2 O my God, I (D)cry by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but [d]I have no rest.
3 Yet (E)You are holy,
O You who [e]are enthroned upon (F)the praises of Israel.
4 In You our fathers (G)trusted;
They trusted and You (H)delivered them.
5 To You they cried out and were delivered;
(I)In You they trusted and were not [f]disappointed.
6 But I am a (J)worm and not a man,
A (K)reproach of men and (L)despised by the people.
7 All who see me [g](M)sneer at me;
They [h]separate with the lip, they (N)wag the head, saying,
8 “[i]Commit yourself to the Lord; (O)let Him deliver him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”
9 Yet You are He who (P)brought me forth from the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.
10 Upon You I was cast (Q)from [j]birth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.
11 (R)Be not far from me, for [k]trouble is near;
For there is (S)none to help.
12 Many (T)bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of (U)Bashan have encircled me.
13 They (V)open wide their mouth at me,
As a ravening and a roaring (W)lion.
14 I am (X)poured out like water,
And all my (Y)bones are out of joint;
My (Z)heart is like wax;
It is melted within [l]me.
15 My (AA)strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And (AB)my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And You (AC)lay me [m]in the dust of death.
16 For (AD)dogs have surrounded me;
[n]A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
[o]They (AE)pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I can count all my bones.
(AF)They look, they stare at me;
18 They (AG)divide my garments among them,
And for my clothing they cast lots.

Matthew 27:34-46
New American Standard Bible 1995
34 (A)they gave Him (B)wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.
35 And when they had crucified Him, (C)they divided up His garments among themselves by casting [a]lots. 36 And sitting down, they began to (D)keep watch over Him there. 37 And above His head they put up the charge against Him [b]which read, “(E)THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 At that time two robbers *were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39 And those passing by were [c]hurling abuse at Him, (F)wagging their heads 40 and saying, “(G)You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! (H)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42 “(I)He saved others; [d]He cannot save Himself. (J)He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 (K)He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He [e]delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 (L)The robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.
45 (M)Now from the [f]sixth hour darkness [g]fell upon all the land until the [h]ninth hour. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “(N)Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

Psalm 69:1-21
New American Standard Bible 1995
A Cry of Distress and Imprecation on Adversaries.
For the choir director; according to [a]Shoshannim. A Psalm of David.
69 Save me, O God,
For the (A)waters have [b]threatened my life.
2 I have sunk in deep (B)mire, and there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters, and a [c](C)flood overflows me.
3 I am (D)weary with my crying; my throat is parched;
My (E)eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4 Those (F)who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would [d]destroy me (G)are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies;
(H)What I did not steal, I then have to restore.
5 O God, it is You who knows (I)my folly,
And (J)my wrongs are not hidden from You.
6 May those who wait for You not (K)be ashamed through me, O Lord [e]God of hosts;
May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,
7 Because (L)for Your sake I have borne reproach;
(M)Dishonor has covered my face.
8 I have become (N)estranged [f]from my brothers
And an alien to my mother’s sons.
9 For (O)zeal for Your house has consumed me,
And (P)the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
10 When I wept (Q)in my soul with fasting,
It became my reproach.
11 When I made (R)sackcloth my clothing,
I became (S)a byword to them.
12 Those who (T)sit in the gate talk about me,
And I am the [g](U)song of the drunkards.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, (V)at an acceptable time;
O God, in the (W)greatness of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with [h]Your saving truth.
14 Deliver me from the (X)mire and do not let me sink;
May I be (Y)delivered from [i]my foes and from the [j](Z)deep waters.
15 May the [k](AA)flood of water not overflow me
Nor the deep swallow me up,
Nor the (AB)pit shut its mouth on me.
16 Answer me, O Lord, for (AC)Your lovingkindness is good;
(AD)According to the greatness of Your compassion, (AE)turn to me,
17 And (AF)do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am (AG)in distress; answer me quickly.
18 Oh draw near to my soul and (AH)redeem it;
(AI)Ransom me because of my enemies!
19 You know my (AJ)reproach and my shame and my dishonor;
All my adversaries are [l]before You.
20 Reproach has (AK)broken my heart and I am so sick.
And (AL)I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
And for (AM)comforters, but I found none.
21 They also gave me [m](AN)gall [n]for my food
And for my thirst they (AO)gave me vinegar to drink.

John 19:28-42
New American Standard Bible 1995
28 After this, Jesus, (A)knowing that all things had already been accomplished, (B)to fulfill the Scripture, *said, “(C)I am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so (D)they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “(E)It is finished!” And He bowed His head and (F)gave up His spirit.
Care of the Body of Jesus
31 Then the Jews, because it was (G)the day of preparation, so that (H)the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath ([a]for that Sabbath was a (I)high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was (J)crucified with Him; 33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately (K)blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has (L)testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things came to pass (M)to fulfill the Scripture, “(N)Not a bone of Him shall be [b]broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “(O)They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”
38 (P)After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a (Q)secret one for (R)fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. 39 (S)Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, (T)bringing a [c]mixture of (U)myrrh and aloes, about a (V)hundred [d]pounds weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and (W)bound it in (X)linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a (Y)new tomb (Z)in which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of (AA)preparation, since the tomb was (AB)nearby, they laid Jesus there.

Psalm 72
New American Standard Bible 1995
The Reign of the Righteous King.
A Psalm of Solomon.
72 Give the king (A)Your judgments, O God,
And (B)Your righteousness to the king’s son.
2 [a]May [b]he (C)judge Your people with righteousness
And [c](D)Your afflicted with justice.
3 [d]Let the mountains bring [e](E)peace to the people,
And the hills, in righteousness.
4 [f]May he (F)vindicate the [g]afflicted of the people,
Save the children of the needy
And crush the oppressor.
5 [h]Let them fear You (G)while the sun endures,
And [i]as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 [j]May he come down (H)like rain upon the mown grass,
Like (I)showers that water the earth.
7 In his days [k]may the (J)righteous flourish,
And (K)abundance of peace till the moon is no more.
8 May he also rule (L)from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 [l]Let (M)the nomads of the desert (N)bow before him,
And his enemies (O)lick the dust.
10 [m]Let the kings of (P)Tarshish and of the [n](Q)islands bring presents;
The kings of (R)Sheba and (S)Seba (T)offer [o]gifts.
11 [p]And let all (U)kings bow down before him,
All (V)nations serve him.
12 For he will (W)deliver the needy when he cries for help,
The [q]afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
13 He will have (X)compassion on the poor and needy,
And the [r]lives of the needy he will save.
14 He will [s](Y)rescue their [t]life from oppression and violence,
And their blood will be (Z)precious in his sight;
15 So may he live, and may the (AA)gold of Sheba be given to him;
And let [u]them pray for him continually;
Let [v]them bless him all day long.
16 May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains;
Its fruit will wave like the cedars of (AB)Lebanon;
And may those from the city flourish like (AC)vegetation of the earth.
17 May his (AD)name endure forever;
May his name [w]increase [x](AE)as long as the sun shines;
And let men (AF)bless themselves by him;
(AG)Let all nations call him blessed.
18 (AH)Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
Who alone (AI)works wonders.
19 And blessed be His (AJ)glorious name forever;
And may the whole (AK)earth be filled with His glory.
(AL)Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

The Lord Gives Dominion to the King.
A Psalm of David.
110 (A)The Lord says to my Lord:
“(B)Sit at My right hand
Until I make (C)Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
Matthew 22:43-46
New American Standard Bible 1995
43 He *said to them, “Then how does David [a](A)in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,
44 ‘(B)The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies beneath Your feet”’?
45 If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?” 46 (C)No one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him [b]another question.
