| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5To you they cried and were rescued; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads; |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8“He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!” |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb you have been my God. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me; |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast; |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet— |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17I can count all my bones— they stare and gloat over me; |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But you, O LORD, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid! |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog! |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen! |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you: |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel! |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will perform before those who fear him. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live forever! |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28For kingship belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation; |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it. |
