⁶² And he went out, weeping bitterly.

⁷⁵ And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.

⁹ Now I am glad, not that you had sorrow, but that your sorrow was the cause of a change of heart; for yours was a holy sorrow so that you might undergo no loss by us in anything.

¹⁰ For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death.

¹¹ For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.

¹² So let him who seems to himself to be safe go in fear of a fall.

⁷² And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.

⁴ Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.

¹⁰ And I will send down on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayer; and their eyes will be turned to the one who was wounded by their hands: and they will be weeping for him as for an only son, and their grief for him will be bitter, like the grief of one sorrowing for his oldest son.

¹⁶ And those of them who get away safely will go and be in the secret places like the doves of the valleys, all of them will come to death, every one in his sin.

¹⁸ Certainly Ephraim's words of grief have come to my ears, You have given me training and I have undergone it like a young cow unused to the yoke: let me be turned and come back, for you are the Lord my God.

¹ <A Psalm. Of David.> Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;

² Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.

³ The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.

⁴ Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.

¹ <A Song of the going up.> Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

² Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

³ O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

⁴ But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

⁵ Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

⁶ Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.

¹⁸ I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin.
