Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;

And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:

Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.

And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
