comes  in  the  name  of  the  Lord;

          Hosanna in the highest.

          7 God said: And I will pour upon the house of
          David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

          the  spirit  of  grace  and  of  supplications:  and
          they  shall  look  upon  me  whom  they

          have  pierced,  and  they  shall  mourn  for
          him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall
          be  in  bitterness  for  him,  as  one  that  is  in

          bitterness for his firstborn.

           8 They gaped upon me with their mouths, like a
          ravening  and  a  roaring  lion.  I  am  poured  out
          like water,  and all my bones are out of joint:
          my  heart  is  like  wax;  it  is  melted  amid  my
          bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
          and  my  tongue  cleaves  to  my  jaws,  and  you

          have  brought  me  into  the  dust  of  death.  For
          dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the
          wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my

          hands and my feet. I feel all my bones: they
          look  and  stare  at  me.  They  part  my  garments
          among them and cast lots upon my clothing.
