My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning. Oh my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer. And by night, but I have no rest, yet you are Oh, you who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel. In you our fathers trusted. They trusted and you delivered them. To you they cried out and were delivered. In you they trusted and were not disappointed. Pointed But I am a worm and not a man A reproach of men and despised by the people All who see me sneer at me They separate with the lip They wag the head saying Commit yourself to the Lord, let him deliver him, let him rescue him, because he delights in him. Yet You are He who brought me forth From the womb You made me trust When upon my mother's breasts Upon You I was cast from birth You have been my God from my mother's womb Be not far from me, for trouble is near For there is none to help Many bulls have surrounded me Strong bulls of passion have encircled me They open wide their mouth at me As 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 within me My strength is dried up like a potsherd And my tongue cleaves to my jaw And you lay me in the dust of death For dogs have surrounded me A band of evildoers has encompassed me They pierced my hands and my feet I can count all my bones They look, they stare at me They divide my garments among them And for my clothing, they cast lots Won't you, my help, hasten to my assistance? Deliver my soul from the sword My only life from the power of the dog Save me from the lion's mouth From the horns of the wild oxen I will tell of your name to my brethren in the midst of the assembly. I will praise you, you who fear the Lord. Praise him, all you descendants of Jacob. Glorify him and stand in awe. All you descendants of Israel For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted Nor has he hidden his face from them But when he cried to him for help he heard From you comes my praise in the great assembly I shall pay my vows before those who fear him The afflicted will eat and be satisfied Those who seek him will praise the Lord Let your heart live forever The families of the nations will worship before you For the kingdom is the Lord's and He rules over the nations All the prosperous on the earth will eat and worship All those who go down to the dust will Be told of the Lord to the coming generation. They will come and will declare His righteousness to a people who will be warned that He has performed it.
