| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far from delivering me— from my groaning words? |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2My God, I cry out to you throughout the day, but you do not answer; and throughout the night, but I have no rest. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Our ancestors trusted in you; they trusted and you delivered them. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5They cried out to you and escaped; they trusted in you and were not put to shame. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6But as for me, I am only a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by people. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Everyone who sees me mocks me; they gape at me with open mouths and shake their heads at me. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8They say, "Commit yourself to the LORD; perhaps the LORD will deliver him, perhaps he will cause him to escape, since he delights in him." |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Yet, you are the one who took me from the womb, and kept me safe on my mother's breasts. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10I was dependent on you from birth; from my mother's womb you have been my God. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Do not be so distant from me, for trouble is at hand; indeed, there is no deliverer. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Many bulls have surrounded me; the vicious bulls of Bashan have encircled me. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Their mouths are opened wide toward me, like roaring and attacking lions. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax, melting within me. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15My strength is dried up like broken pottery; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth, and you have brought me down to the dust of death. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16For dogs have surrounded me; a gang of those who practice of evil has encircled me. They gouged my hands and my feet. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17I can count all my bones. They look at me; they stare at me. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18They divide my clothing among themselves; they cast lots for my clothing! |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But as for you, LORD, do not be far away from me; My Strength, come quickly to help me. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Deliver me from the sword; my precious life from the power of the dog. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Deliver me from the mouth of the lion, from the horns of the wild oxen. You have answered me. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22I will declare your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation, I will praise you, saying, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23"All who fear the LORD, praise him! All the seed of Jacob, glorify him! All the seed of Israel, fear him! |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24For he does not despise nor detest the afflicted person; he does not hide his face from him, but he hears him when he cries out to him." |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25My praise in the great congregation is because of you; I will pay my vows before those who fear you. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise him, "May you live forever!" |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD; all the families of the nations will bow in submission to the LORD. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Indeed, the kingdom belongs to the LORD; he rules over the nations. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29All the prosperous people will eat and bow down in submission. All those who are about to go down to the grave will bow down in submission, along with the one who can no longer keep himself alive. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Our descendants will serve him, and that generation will be told about the Lord. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31They will come and declare his righteousness to a people yet to be born; indeed, he has accomplished it! |
