1. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning.
2. O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest.
3. Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
4. In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them.
5. To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed.
6. But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people.
7. All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,
8. "Commit yourself to the Lord; let Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him."
9. Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother's breasts.
10. Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother's womb.
11. Be not far from me, for trouble is near; For there is none to help.
12. Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13. They open wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a roaring lion.
