Lord Jesus, the enemy
pursued you,
crushing your life to
the ground,
making you sit in
darkness
like those long dead.
Our high priest,
so severely tested,
far beyond our
testing,
yet you were without
sin.
For you our eyes flow
with tears.
Let your Spirit be in
us, that we may
have life because of
your righteousness.

making me sit in darkness like those long dead.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize
with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we
are, yet without sin.

sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
