You have acovered Yourself with a cloud So that bno prayer can pass through.You have made us mere aoffscouring and refuse In the midst of the peoples.All our enemies have aopened their mouths against us.aPanic and pitfall have befallen us, Devastation and destruction;My aeyes run down with streams of water Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.My eyes pour down aunceasingly, Without stopping,Until the Lord alooks down And sees from heaven.My eyes bring pain to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.My enemies awithout cause Hunted me down blike a bird;They have silenced me ain the pit And have bplaced a stone on me.Waters flowed aover my head; I said, "I am cut off!"I acalled on Your name, O Lord, Out of the lowest pit.You have aheard my voice, "bDo not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief, From my cry for help."You adrew near when I called on You; You said, "bDo not fear!"O Lord, You ahave pleaded my soul's cause; You have bredeemed my life.O Lord, You have aseen my oppression; bJudge my case.

highlighted 2 Samuel 19:35-43 NASB

"I am now aeighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I hear anymore bthe voice of singing men and women? cWhy then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?"Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king compensate me with this reward?"Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. However, here is your servant aChimham, let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight."The king answered, "Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your sight; and whatever you require of me, I will do for you."All the people crossed over the Jordan and the king crossed too. The king then akissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his place.Now the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah and also ahalf the people of Israel accompanied the king.And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king and said to the king, "aWhy had our brothers bthe men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king and his household and all David's men with him over the Jordan?"Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because athe king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's expense, or has anything been taken for us?"But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, "aWe have ten parts in the king, therefore we also have more claim on David than you. Why then did you treat us with contempt? Was it not our advice first to bring back our king?" Yet the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.

But I say, surely they have never heard, have they?

How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him awhom they have not heard?

highlighted Romans 10:4-10 NASB

for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.For aChrist is the end of the law for righteousness to beveryone who believes.For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law ashall live by that righteousness.But athe righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: "bDO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is, to bring Christ down),or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE aABYSS?' (that is, to bbring Christ up from the dead)."But what does it say? "aTHE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,that aif you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and bbelieve in your heart that cGod raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
