1. My God, my God, why have you left me? You seem too far away to save me, too far to hear my cries for help!
2. My God, I kept calling by day, and I was not silent at night. But you did not answer me.
3. God, you are the Holy One. You sit as King upon the praises of Israel.
4. Our ancestors trusted you. Yes, they trusted you, and you saved them.
5. They called to you for help and escaped their enemies. They trusted you and were not disappointed!
6. But I feel like a worm, less than human! People insult me and look down on me.
