419

God, my God, look upon me; why have You forsaken me? I have become far from my salvation because of the words of my transgressions.

(Fifth Psalm, *kcʿurd* [refrain]. Chapter [Psalm] 30.)

Into your hands I commit my spirit. In you, Lord, I have hoped; let me not be put to shame forever; in your righteousness deliver and save me.

(Sixth Psalm, *kcʿurd* [refrain]: Psalm [lit. chapter] 68.)

They gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Save me, O God, for the waters have reached my soul; I am sunk into the depths of the abyss, where there is no rest for me.

(The Seventh Psalm, *kcʿurd* [refrain], Chapter [Psalm] 85:)

I became as a man without help, and free among the dead. Lord God of my salvation, by day and [by] night I cried out before you.

[Eighth psalm. *Kcʿurd* (antiphon/refrain), Chapter 101 [Psalm 102/101 Heb./LXX].]

My bone cleaved to my flesh; I have become like a pelican of the wilderness. Lord, hear my prayer, let my cry come unto thee, and do not turn thy face away from me.
