1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

3 But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.

4 Our fathers trusted in you: they trusted, and you did deliver them.

5 They cried to you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not confounded.

6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

9 But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was on my mother' breasts.

10 I was cast on you from the womb: you are my God from my mother' belly.

11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

13 They gaped on me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the middle of my bowels.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue sticks to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death.

16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare on me.

18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots on my clothing.

19 But be not you far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me.

20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

21 Save me from the lion' mouth: for you have heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

22 I will declare your name to my brothers: in the middle of the congregation will I praise you.

23 You that fear the LORD, praise him; all you the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the seed of Israel.

24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

25 My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before you.

28 For the kingdom is the LORD': and he is the governor among the nations.

29 All they that be fat on earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he has done this.

1 My Mighty God, My Mighty God, why have You forsaken Me, and are far from My deliverance, and from the words of My groaning?

2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer; and in the nighttime, and am not silent.

3 But You are holy, enthroned on 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 who see Me mock Me; they shoot out the lip; they shake the head, saying,

8 He trusted on Jehovah; let Him deliver Him; let Him rescue Him, since He delights in Him!

9 For You are He who took Me out of the womb, causing Me to trust while on My mother’s breasts.

10 I was cast upon You from the womb; You are My Mighty God from My mother’s belly.

11 Be not far from Me, for trouble is near; for there is no one to help.

12 Many bulls have encircled Me; strong bulls of Bashan have surrounded Me.

13 They have gaped at Me with their mouths, like a tearing and roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water, and all My bones are separated; 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; and You have brought Me into the dust of death.

16 For dogs have surrounded Me; the congregation of the wicked have enclosed Me. They have pierced My hands and My feet.

17 I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me.

18 They divide My garments among them and cast lots for My clothing.

19 But You, O Jehovah, be not far from Me; O My Strength, make haste to help Me!

20 Deliver My soul from the sword, My only one from the hand of the dog.

21 Deliver Me from the lion’s mouth; from the horns of the oryx. You have answered Me.

22 I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will praise You.

23 You who fear Jehovah, praise Him! All you seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and fear Him all you seed of Israel!

24 For He has not despised nor detested the affliction of the afflicted; nor has He hidden His face from him; but when he cried out to Him, He heard.

25 My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will make good My vows before those who fear Him.

26 The lowly shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Jehovah shall praise Him; your heart shall live forever.

27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Jehovah; and all the families of the nations shall bow down before You.

28 For the kingdom is Jehovah’s; and He rules over the nations.

29 All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and bow down; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, for no one can keep alive his own soul.

30 A seed shall serve Him; it shall be recounted of Jehovah to the coming generation.

31 They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness to a people that shall yet be born, that He has done this.
