1. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?
2. My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.
3. Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises.
4. In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them.
5. To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
6. But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
7. All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
