1. For the leader; according to “The deer of the dawn.” A psalm of David.
2. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?Why so far from my call for help,from my cries of anguish?
3. My God, I call by day, but you do not answer;by night, but I have no relief.
4. Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;you are the glory of Israel.
5. In you our fathers trusted;they trusted and you rescued them.
6. To you they cried out and they escaped;in you they trusted and were not disappointed.
