1My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?2O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not;and in the night season, and am not silent.3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.4Our fathers trusted in thee:they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.5They cried unto thee, and were delivered:they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.6But I am a worm, and no man;a reproach of men, and despised of the people.7All they that see me laugh me to scorn:they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,8He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him:let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.9But thou art he that took me out of the womb:thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.10I was cast upon thee from the womb:thou art my God from my mother’s belly.11Be not far from me;for trouble is near;for there is none to help.12Many bulls have compassed me:strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.13They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.14I 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.15My strength is dried up like a potsherd;and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws;and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.16For dogs have compassed me:the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me:they pierced my hands and my feet.17I may tell all my bones:they look and stare upon me.18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.19But be not thou far from me, O LORD:O my strength, haste thee to help me.20Deliver my soul from the sword;my darling from the power of the dog.21Save me from the lion’s mouth:for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.22I will declare thy name unto my brethren:in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.23Ye that fear the LORD, praise him;all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.24For 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.25My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation:I will pay my vows before them that fear him.26The meek shall eat and be satisfied:they shall praise the LORD that seek him:your heart shall live for ever.27All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD:and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.28For the kingdom is the LORD’s:and he is the governor among the nations.29All 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.30A seed shall serve him;it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.31They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
