Psalms 22:1-6 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

1. My God, my God, why hast thou meforsaken? why so farArt thou from helping me, and frommy words that roaring are?

2. All day, my God, to thee I cry,yet am not heard by thee;And in the season of the nightI cannot silent be.

3. But thou art holy, thou that dostinhabit Isr'el's praise.

4. Our fathers hop'd in thee, they hop'dand thou didst them release.

5. When unto thee they sent their cry,to them deliv'rance came:Because they put their trust in thee,they were not put to shame.

6. But as for me, a worm I am,and as no man am priz'd:Reproach of men I am, and bythe people am despis'd.
