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.
8. They say,“Commit yourself to the Lord!Let the Lord rescue him!Let the Lord deliver him, for he delights in him.”
9. Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womband made me feel secure on my mother’s breasts.
