1. My God, my God,why have you abandoned me?Why are you so far away from helping me,so far away from the words of my groaning?
2. My God,I cry out by day, but you do not answer—also at night, but I find no rest.
3. Yet, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4. Our ancestors trusted you.They trusted, and you rescued them.
5. They cried to you and were saved.They trusted you and were never disappointed.
6. Yet, I am a worm and not a man.I am scorned by humanity and despised by people.
7. All who see me make fun of me.Insults pour from their mouths.They shake their heads and say,
8. “Put yourself in the Lord’s hands.Let the Lord save him!Let God rescue him since he is pleased with him!”
