1 To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David. 2 \22:1\My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?3 \22:2\O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.4 \22:3\But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.5 \22:4\Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.6 \22:5\They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.7 \22:6\But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.8 \22:7\I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,9 \22:8\He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.10 \22:9\But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.11 \22:10\I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.
