1. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
2. O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest 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 put to shame.
6. But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised of the people.
