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? [Matt. 27:46.]
2. O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You answer not; and by night I am not silent or find no rest.
3. But You are holy, O You Who dwell in [the holy place where] the praises of Israel [are offered].
4. Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted (leaned on, relied on You, and were confident) and You delivered them.
5. They cried to You and were delivered; they trusted in, leaned on, and confidently relied on You, and were not ashamed or confounded or disappointed.
6. But I am a worm, and no man; I am the scorn of men, and despised by the people. [Matt. 27:39-44.]
7. All who see me laugh at me and mock me; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, [Matt. 27:43.]
8. He trusted and rolled himself on the Lord, that He would deliver him. Let Him deliver him, seeing that He delights in him! [Matt. 27:39, 43; Mark 15:29, 30; Luke 23:35.]
9. Yet You are He Who took me out of the womb; You made me hope and trust when I was on my mother's breasts.
10. I was cast upon You from my very birth; from my mother's womb You have been my God.
