¹ My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? ² My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; ³ But you are holy, ⁴ Our fathers trusted in you. ⁵ They cried to you, and were delivered.
They trusted in you, and were not disappointed. ⁶ But I am a worm, and no man; ⁷ All those who see me mock me. ⁸ “He trusts in the LORD.
Let him deliver him.
Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.” ⁹ But you brought me out of the womb. ¹⁰ I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. ¹¹ Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. ¹² Many bulls have surrounded me.
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. ¹³ They open their mouths wide against me,
lions tearing prey and roaring. ¹⁴ I am poured out like water. ¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd. ¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded me. ¹⁷ I can count all of my bones. ¹⁸ They divide my garments among them. ¹⁹ But don’t be far off, LORD. ²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword, ²¹ Save me from the lion’s mouth!
Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen. ²² I will declare your name to my brothers.
Among the assembly, I will praise you. ²³ You who fear the LORD, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him!
Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel! ²⁴ For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, ²⁵ My praise of you comes in the great assembly. ²⁶ The humble shall eat and be satisfied.
They shall praise the LORD who seek after him.
Let your hearts live forever. ²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. ²⁸ For the kingdom is the LORD’s. ²⁹ All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. ³⁰ Posterity shall serve him.
Future generations shall be told about the Lord. ³¹ They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born,
