|
|
1 |
My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Why are You so far from helping Me,
And from the words of My groaning?
|
|
|
2 |
O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;
And in the night season, and am not silent.
|
|
3 |
But You are holy,
Enthroned in 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 those who see Me ridicule Me;
They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
|
|
8 |
“He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him;
Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”
|
|
9 |
But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
|
|
10 |
I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
You have been My God.
|
|
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 gape at Me with their mouths,
Like a raging and roaring lion.
|
|
14 |
I am poured out like water,
And all My bones are out of joint;
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;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.
|
|
16 |
For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
They 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 for My clothing they cast lots.
|
|
19 |
But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me;
O My Strength, hasten to help Me!
|
|
20 |
Deliver Me from the sword,
My precious life from the power of the dog.
|
|
21 |
Save Me from the lion’s mouth
And from the horns of the wild oxen!
You have answered Me.
|
|
22 |
I will declare 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 fear Him, all you offspring 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, He heard.
|
|
25 |
My praise shall be of You in the great assembly;
I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
|
|
26 |
The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will praise the LORD.
Let your heart live forever!
|
|
27 |
All the ends of the world
Shall remember and turn to the LORD,
And all the families of the nations
Shall worship before You.
|
|
28 |
For the kingdom is the LORD’s,
And He rules over the nations.
|
|
29 |
All the prosperous of the earth
Shall eat and worship;
All those who go down to the dust
Shall bow before Him,
Even he who cannot keep himself alive.
|
|
30 |
A posterity shall serve Him.
It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,
|
|
31 |
They will come and declare His righteousness
to a people who will be born,
That He has done this.
