| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the director of music. To the tune of "The Doe of the Morning." A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5To you they cried out and were saved; 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 everyone, despised by the people. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8"He trusts in the LORD," they say, "let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him." |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother's breast. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10From birth I was cast on you; from my mother's womb you have been my God. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Roaring lions that tear their prey open their mouths wide against me. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are 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 dogs. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22I will declare your name to my people; in 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, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise him-- may your hearts 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 bow down before him, |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him-- those who cannot keep themselves alive. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31They will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it! |
