1. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?I groan in prayer, but help seems far away.
2. My God, I cry out during the day,but you do not answer,and during the night my prayers do not let up.
3. You are holy;you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel.
4. In you our ancestors trusted;they trusted in you and you rescued them.
5. To you they cried out, and they were saved;in you they trusted and they were not disappointed.
6. But I am a worm, not a man;people insult me and despise me.
7. All who see me taunt me;they mock me and shake their heads.
