1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1For the choir director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are 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 have no rest.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon 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 out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8"Commit yourself to the LORD; let Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him."
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother's breasts.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother's womb.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11Be not far from me, for trouble is near; For there is none to help.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13They open wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a 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 me.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at 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, be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21Save me from the lion's mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23You who fear the LORD, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25From You comes my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever!
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations will worship before You.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28For the kingdom is the LORD'S And He rules over the nations.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30Posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has performed it.
