Psalms 22:1-10 ▼

1 For the one directing. According to “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me, far away from my salvation, from the words of my roaring?

2 O my God, I cry out by day, and You do not answer, and by night, and there is no quiet for me.

3 And You are holy, sitting amid the praises of Israel.

4 In You our fathers trusted; they trusted, and You delivered them.

5 To You they cried, and they were given escape; in You they trusted, and they were not put to shame.

6 And I am a worm, and not a man, the scorn of men, and despised by the people.

7 All seeing me mock at me; they gape with the lip; they shake the head:

8 “Roll to YHWH; let Him deliver him and snatch him away, if indeed He delights in him.”

9 Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust upon the breasts of my mother.

10 Upon You I was cast forth from the womb; from the belly of my mother, You are my God.
