36 (V2). MESSIAH'S PRAYER AND PRAISE IN VIEW OF PSALM 22. (Introversion.)
| V2 | S | 1-4 | The wicked. Their misdeeds. | |
| 1. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. | ||||
| 2. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. | ||||
| 3. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. | ||||
| 4. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. | ||||
| T | 5-9 | The lovingkindness of Jehovah. Declaration. | ||
| 5. Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. | ||||
| 6. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. | ||||
| 7. How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. | ||||
| 8. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. | ||||
| 9. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. | ||||
| T | 10 | The lovingkindness of Jehovah. Prayer. | ||
| 10. O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. | ||||
| S | 11,12 | The wicked. Their end. | ||
| 11. Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. | ||||
| 12. There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise. |
