-
1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
-
2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
-
3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
-
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
-
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, 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 thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
-
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's 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 upon 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 midst of my bowels.
-
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
-
16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
-
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
-
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
-
19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
-
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
-
21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
-
22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
-
23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
-
24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
-
25 My praise shall be of thee 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 unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
-
28 For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.
-
29 All they that be fat upon 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 unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

- 1 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning.
- 2 O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest.
- 3 Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
- 4 In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them.
- 5 To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed.
- 6 But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people.
- 7 All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,
- 8 “Commit yourself to the LORD; let Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”
- 9 Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother's breasts.
- 10 Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother's womb.
- 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 open wide their mouth at me, 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 within me.
- 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death.
- 16 For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
- 17 I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me;
- 18 They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.
- 19 But You, O LORD, be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance.
- 20 Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog.
- 21 Save me from the lion's mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me.
- 22 I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
- 23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.
- 24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.
- 25 From You comes my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him.
- 26 The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever!
- 27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations will worship before You.
- 28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S And He rules over the nations.
- 29 All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.
- 30 Posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation.
- 31 They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has performed it.
