   1  My God, my God, why hast thou me
         forsaken? why so far
      Art thou from helping me, and from
         my words that roaring are?
   2  All day, my God, to thee I cry,
         yet am not heard by thee;
      And in the season of the night
         I cannot silent be.

   3  But thou art holy, thou that dost
         inhabit Isr'el's praise.
   4  Our fathers hoped in thee, they hoped,
         and thou didst them release.
   5  When unto thee they sent their cry,
         to them deliv'rance came:
      Because they put their trust in thee,
         they were not put to shame.

   6  But as for me, a worm I am,
         and as no man am prized:
      Reproach of men I am, and by
         the people am despised.
   7  All that me see laugh me to scorn;
         shoot out the lip do they;
      They nod and shake their heads at me,
         and, mocking, thus do say,

   8  This man did trust in God, that he
         would free him by his might:
      Let him deliver him, sith he
         had in him such delight.
   9  But thou art he out of the womb
         that didst me safely take;
      When I was on my mother's breasts
         thou me to hope didst make.

  10  And I was cast upon thy care,
         ev'n from the womb till now;
      And from my mother's belly, Lord,
         my God and guide art thou.
  11  Be not far off, for grief is near,
         and none to help is found.
  12  Bulls many compass me, strong bulls
         of Bashan me surround.

  13  Their mouths they opened wide on me,
         upon me gape did they,
      Like to a lion ravening
         and roaring for his prey.
  14  Like water I'm poured out, my bones
         all out of joint do part:
      Amidst my bowels, as the wax,
         so melted is my heart.

  15  My strength is like a potsherd dried;
         my tongue it cleaveth fast
      Unto my jaws; and to the dust
         of death thou brought me hast.
  16  For dogs have compassed me about:
         the wicked, that did meet
      In their assembly, me enclosed;
         they pierced my hands and feet.

  17  I all my bones may tell; they do
         upon me look and stare.
  18  Upon my vesture lots they cast,
         and clothes among them share.
  19  But be not far, O Lord, my strength;
         haste to give help to me.
  20  From sword my soul, from pow'r of dogs
         my darling set thou free.

  21  Out of the roaring lion's mouth
         do thou me shield and save:
      For from the horns of unicorns
         an ear to me thou gave.
  22  I will show forth thy name unto
         those that my brethren are;
      Amidst the congregätion
         thy praise I will declare.

  23  Praise ye the Lord, who do him fear;
         him glorify all ye
      The seed of Jacob; fear him all
         that Isr'el's children be.
  24  For he despised not nor abhorred
         th' afflicted's misery;
      Nor from him hid his face, but heard
         when he to him did cry.

  25  Within the congregation great
         my praise shall be of thee;
      My vows before them that him fear
         shall be performed by me.
  26  The meek shall eat, and shall be filled;
         they also praise shall give
      Unto the Lord that do him seek:
         your heart shall ever live.

  27  All ends of th' earth remember shall,
         and turn the Lord unto;
      All kindreds of the nätions
         to him shall homage do:
  28  Because the kingdom to the Lord
         doth appertain as his;
      Likewise among the nätions
         the Governor he is.

  29  Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall:
         all who to dust descend
      Shall bow to him; none of them can
         his soul from death defend.
  30  A seed shall service do to him;
         unto the Lord it shall
      Be for a generätion
         reckoned in ages all.

  31  They shall come, and they shall declare
         his truth and righteousness
      Unto a people yet unborn,
         and that he hath done this.

BIBLE PASSAGE:

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 daytime, 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.
