Day 3 - Counting Btwn The Straits!

Lamentations 1:15-21,  Psalms 102:13-22.

 

Lamentations 1:15-21.

15 ADONAI has set at nothing all my mighty men in the midst of me;  He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men:  ADONAI has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.
16 For these things I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water;  Because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me:  My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.
17 Zion spreads forth her hands; there is none to comfort her;  YHWH has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries:  Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
18 YHWH is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment:  Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow:  My virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me:  My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city,  While they sought them food to refresh their souls.
20 See, YHWH; for I am in distress; my heart is troubled;  My heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled:  Abroad the sword bereaves, at home there is as death.
21 They have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me;  All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done it:  You will bring the day that you have proclaimed, and they shall be like me.

But The Most High transforms defeats into Victory:

Psalms 102:13-22.

13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion;  for it is time to have pity on her.  Yes, the set time has come.
14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones,  and have pity on her dust.
15 So the nations will fear the name of YHWH;  all the kings of the earth your glory.
16 For YHWH has built up Zion.  He has appeared in his glory.
17 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute,  and has not despised their prayer.
18 This will be written for the generation to come.  A people which will be created will praise YAH!
19 For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary.  From heaven, YHWH saw the earth;
20 to hear the groans of the prisoner;  to free those who are condemned to death;
21 that men may declare the name of YHWH in Zion,  and his praise in Jerusalem;
22 when the peoples are gathered together,  the kingdoms, to serve YHWH!
