The Lord has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked; let all those who hate me be put to shame and turned back. Roll away the reproach and disgrace from me. Heal me from every crushing, humiliation and bending over. So, my stature shall be like a palm tree, I shall flourish like a palm tree, I shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
I shall turn my back on the world and shall bear the cross. If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
I gave my back to those who struck me. For the Lord God will help me; therefore, I will not be disgraced. They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support. The Lord is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I shall not be shaken. He is my Father, my God and the rock of my salvation. He keeps His mercy for me forever and His covenant with me shall stand firm. The eternal God is my refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
