1. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?Why are You so far from helping Me,And from the words of My groaning?
2. O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;And in the night season, and am not silent.
3. But You are holy,Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
4. Our fathers trusted in You;They trusted, and You delivered them.
5. They cried to You, and were delivered;They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.
6. But I am a worm, and no man;A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
7. All those who see Me ridicule Me;They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8. “He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”
9. But You are He who took Me out of the womb;You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
10. I was cast upon You from birth.From My mother’s wombYou have been My God.
11. Be not far from Me,For trouble is near;For there is none to help.
12. Many bulls have surrounded Me;Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me.
13. They gape at Me with their mouths,Like a raging and roaring lion.
14. I am poured out like water,And all My bones are out of joint;My heart is like wax;It has melted within Me.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd,And My tongue clings to My jaws;You have brought Me to the dust of death.
16. For dogs have surrounded Me;The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.They pierced My hands and My feet;
17. I can count all My bones.They look and stare at Me.
