¹ My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
why art thou so far from helping me,
and from the words of my roaring?

² O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not;
and in the night season, and am not silent.

³ But thou art holy,
O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

⁴ Our fathers trusted in thee:
they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

⁵ They cried unto thee, and were delivered:
they trusted in thee,
and were not confounded.

⁶ But I am a worm, and no man;
a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

⁷ All they that see me laugh me to scorn:
they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

⁸ He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him:
let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

⁹ But thou art he that took me out of the womb:
thou didst make me hope when I was upon
my mother's breasts.

¹⁰ I was cast upon thee from the womb:
thou art my God from my mother's belly.

¹¹ Be not far from me;
for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

¹² Many bulls have compassed me:
strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

¹³ They gaped upon me with their mouths,
as a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint:
my heart is like wax;
it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd;
and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws;
and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

¹⁶ For dogs have compassed me:
the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me:
they pierced my hands and my feet.

¹⁷ I may tell all my bones:
they look and stare upon me.

¹⁸ They part my garments among them,
and cast lots upon my vesture.

¹⁹ But be not thou far from me, O LORD:
O my strength, haste thee to help me.

²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword;
my darling from the power of the dog.

²¹ Save me from the lion's mouth:
for thou hast heard me from the horns
of the unicorns.

²² I will declare thy name unto my brethren:
in the midst of the congregation
will I praise thee.

²³ Ye that fear the LORD, praise him;
all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;
and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

²⁴ For he hath not despised nor abhorred
the affliction of the afflicted;
neither hath he hid his face from him;
but when he cried unto him, he heard.

²⁵ My praise shall be of thee
in the great congregation:
I will pay my vows
before them that fear him.

²⁶ The meek shall eat and be satisfied:
they shall praise the LORD that seek him:
your heart shall live for ever.

²⁷ All the ends of the world shall remember
and turn unto the LORD:
and all the kindreds of the nations
shall worship before thee.

²⁸ For the kingdom is the LORD's:
and he is the governor among the nations.

²⁹ All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship:
all they that go down to the dust
shall bow before him:
and none can keep alive his own soul.

³⁰ A seed shall serve him;
it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

³¹ They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness
unto a people that shall be born,
that he hath done this.
