## Text

[1] My God, my God,
why have You forsaken me?
Why are You so far from saving me,
so far from my words of groaning? [2] I cry out by day, O my God,
but You do not answer,
and by night,
but I have no rest. [3] Yet You are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel. [4] In You our fathers trusted;
they trusted and You delivered them. [5] They cried out to You and were set free;
they trusted in You and were not disappointed. [6] But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by men and despised by the people. [7] All who see me mock me;
they sneer and shake their heads: [8] “He trusts in the LORD,
let the LORD deliver him;
let the LORD rescue him,
since He delights in him.” [9] Yet You brought me forth from the womb;
You made me secure at my mother’s breast. [10] From birth I was cast upon You;
from my mother’s womb You have been my God. [11] Be not far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help. [12] Many bulls surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. [13] They open their jaws against me
like lions that roar and maul. [14] I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are disjointed.
My heart is like wax;
it melts away within me. [15] My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You lay me in the dust of death. [16] For dogs surround me;
a band of evil men encircles me;
they have pierced my hands and feet. [17] I can count all my bones;
they stare and gloat over me. [18] They divide my garments among them
and cast lots for my clothing. [19] But You, O LORD, be not far off;
O my Strength, come quickly to help me. [20] Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of wild dogs. [21] Save me from the mouth of the lion;
at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me! [22] I will proclaim Your name to my brothers;
I will praise You in the assembly. [23] You who fear the LORD, praise Him!
All descendants of Jacob, honor Him!
All offspring of Israel, revere Him! [24] For He has not despised or detested
the torment of the afflicted.
He has not hidden His face from him,
but has attended to his cry for help. [25] My praise for You resounds in the great assembly;
I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You. [26] The poor will eat and be satisfied;
those who seek the LORD will praise Him.
May your hearts live forever! [27] All the ends of the earth
will remember and turn to the LORD.
All the families of the nations
will bow down before Him. [28] For dominion belongs to the LORD
and He rules over the nations. [29] All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him—
even those unable to preserve their lives. [30] Posterity will serve Him;
they will declare the Lord to a new generation. [31] They will come and proclaim His righteousness
to a people yet unborn—
all that He has done.
