1. To the Overseer, on `The Hind of the Morning.' --A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?
2. My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.
3. And Thou [art] holy, Sitting--the Praise of Israel.
4. In Thee did our fathers trust--they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.
5. Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.
6. And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.
7. All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip--shake the head,
8. `Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.'
9. For thou [art] He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.
10. On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou [art] my God.
11. Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.
