2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,

by night, but I find no rest.

3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;

you are the one Israel praises.

4 In you our ancestors put their trust;

they trusted and you delivered them.

5 To you they cried out and were saved;

in you they trusted and were not put to shame.

6 But I am a worm and not a man,

scorned by everyone, despised by the people.

7 All who see me mock me;

they hurl insults, shaking their heads.

8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,

“let the Lord rescue him.

Let him deliver him,

since he delights in him.”

9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;

you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.

10 From birth I was cast on you;

from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

11 Do not be far from me,

for trouble is near

and there is no one to help.

2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not;

And in the night season, and am not silent.

3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

4 Our fathers trusted in thee:

They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered:

They trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

6 But I am a worm, and no man;

A reproach of men, and despised of the people.

7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn:

They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8 He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him:

Let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb:

Thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

10 I was cast upon thee from the womb:

Thou art my God from my mother’s belly.

11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near;

For there is none to help.

2 Every day I call to you, my God, but you do not answer.

Every night I lift my voice, but I find no relief.

3 Yet you are holy,

enthroned on the praises of Israel.

4 Our ancestors trusted in you,

and you rescued them.

5 They cried out to you and were saved.

They trusted in you and were never disgraced.

6 But I am a worm and not a man.

I am scorned and despised by all!

7 Everyone who sees me mocks me.

They sneer and shake their heads, saying,

8 “Is this the one who relies on the Lord?

Then let the Lord save him!

If the Lord loves him so much,

let the Lord rescue him!”

9 Yet you brought me safely from my mother’s womb

and led me to trust you at my mother’s breast.

10 I was thrust into your arms at my birth.

You have been my God from the moment I was born.

11 Do not stay so far from me,

for trouble is near,

and no one else can help me.

2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;

And in the night season, and am not silent.

3 But You are holy,

Enthroned in the praises of Israel.

4 Our fathers trusted in You;

They trusted, and You delivered them.

5 They cried to You, and were delivered;

They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

6 But I am a worm, and no man;

A reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7 All those who see Me ridicule Me;

They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8 “He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;

Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”

9 But You are He who took Me out of the womb;

You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.

10 I was cast upon You from birth.

From My mother’s womb

You have been My God.

11 Be not far from Me,

For trouble is near;

For there is none to help.

2 My God, I call to you during the day,

but you do not answer.

I call at night;

I am not silent.

3 You sit as the Holy One.

The praises of Israel are your throne.

4 Our ancestors trusted you;

they trusted, and you saved them.

5 They called to you for help

and were rescued.

They trusted you

and were not disappointed.

6 But I am like a worm instead of a man.

People make fun of me and hate me.

7 Those who look at me laugh.

They stick out their tongues and shake their heads.

8 They say, “Turn to the Lord for help.

Maybe he will save you.

If he likes you,

maybe he will rescue you.”

9 You had my mother give birth to me.

You made me trust you

while I was just a baby.

10 I have leaned on you since the day I was born;

you have been my God since my mother gave me birth.

11 So don’t be far away from me.

Now trouble is near,

and there is no one to help.

2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not;

And in the night season, and am not silent.

3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

4 Our fathers trusted in thee:

They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered:

They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.

6 But I am a worm, and no man;

A reproach of men, and despised of the people.

7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn:

They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8 Commit thyself unto Jehovah; let him deliver him:

Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.

9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb;

Thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

10 I was cast upon thee from the womb;

Thou art my God since my mother bare me.

11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near;

For there is none to help.

2 My God, I cry by day, and thou answerest not; and by night, and there is no rest for me: 3 And thou art holy, thou that dwellest amid the praises of Israel. 4 Our fathers confided in thee: they confided, and thou didst deliver them. 5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they confided in thee, and were not confounded. 6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and the despised of the people. 7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying: 8 Commit it to Jehovah—let him rescue him; let him deliver him, because he delighteth in him! 9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me trust, upon my mother’s breasts. 10 I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my •God from my mother’s belly.

11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

2 My God, 

I cry out by day, but you do not answer— 

also at night, but I find no rest. 

3 Yet, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. 

4 Our ancestors trusted you. 

They trusted, and you rescued them. 

5 They cried to you and were saved. 

They trusted you and were never disappointed. 

6 Yet, I am a worm and not a man. 

I am scorned by humanity and despised by people. 

7 All who see me make fun of me. 

Insults pour from their mouths. 

They shake their heads and say, 

8 “Put yourself in the Lord’s hands. 

Let the Lord save him! 

Let God rescue him since he is pleased with him!” 

9 Indeed, you are the one who brought me out of the womb, 

the one who made me feel safe at my mother’s breasts. 

10 I was placed in your care from birth. 

From my mother’s womb you have been my God. 

11 Do not be so far away from me. 

Trouble is near, and there is no one to help. 

2 My God, I cry by day, but You do not answer,

by night, yet I have no rest.

3 But You are holy,

enthroned on the praises of Israel.

4 Our fathers trusted in You;

they trusted, and You rescued them.

5 They cried to You and were set free;

they trusted in You and were not disgraced.

6 But I am a worm and not a man,

scorned by men and despised by people.

7 Everyone who sees me mocks me;

they sneer and shake their heads:

8 “He relies on the Lord;

let Him rescue him;

let the Lord deliver him,

since He takes pleasure in him.”

9 You took me from the womb,

making me secure while at my mother’s breast.

10 I was given over to You at birth;

You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

11 Do not be far from me, because distress is near

and there is no one to help.

2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer;

and by night, but find no rest.

3 Yet you are holy,

enthroned on the praises of Israel.

4 In you our ancestors trusted;

they trusted, and you delivered them.

5 To you they cried, and were saved;

in you they trusted, and were not put to shame.

6 But I am a worm, and not human;

scorned by others, and despised by the people.

7 All who see me mock at me;

they make mouths at me, they shake their heads;

8 “Commit your cause to the Lord; let him deliver—

let him rescue the one in whom he delights!”

9 Yet it was you who took me from the womb;

you kept me safe on my mother’s breast.

10 On you I was cast from my birth,

and since my mother bore me you have been my God.

11 Do not be far from me,

for trouble is near

and there is no one to help.

2 O my God, I call by day and you do not answer,

and by night but I have no rest.

3 Yet you are holy,

enthroned on the praises of Israel.

4 Our ancestors trusted you;

they trusted and you delivered them.

5 They cried to you and were saved;

they trusted you and were not ashamed.

6 But I am a worm and not a man,

scorned by humankind and despised by people.

7 All who see me mock me.

They open wide their lips;

they shake the head, saying:

8 “He trusts Yahweh. Let him rescue him.

Let him deliver him because he delights in him.”

9 Yet you took me from the belly;

you made me trust while on my mother’s breasts.

10 On you I was cast from the womb.

From my mother’s belly you have been my God.

11 Do not be far from me

because trouble is near;

because there is no helper.

2 My God, I cry out in the daytime. But you don’t answer.

I cry out at night. I can’t keep quiet.

3 But you rule from your throne as the Holy One.

You are the God Israel praises.

4 Our people of long ago put their trust in you.

They trusted in you, and you saved them.

5 They cried out to you and were saved.

They trusted in you, and you didn’t let them down.

6 People treat me like a worm and not a man.

They hate me and look down on me.

7 All those who see me laugh at me.

They shout at me and make fun of me.

They shake their heads at me.

8 They say, “He trusts in the Lord.

Let the Lord help him.

If the Lord is pleased with him,

let him save him.”

9 But you brought me out of my mother’s body.

You made me trust in you

even when I was at my mother’s breast.

10 From the time I was born, you took good care of me.

Ever since I came out of my mother’s body, you have been my God.

11 Don’t be far away from me.

Trouble is near,

and there is no one to help me.

2 O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer;

And by night, but I have no rest.

3 Yet You are holy,

O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

4 In You our fathers trusted;

They trusted and You delivered them.

5 To You they cried out and were delivered;

In You they trusted and were not disappointed.

6 But I am a worm and not a man,

A reproach of men and despised by the people.

7 All who see me sneer at me;

They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,

8 “Commit yourself to the Lord; let Him deliver him;

Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”

9 Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb;

You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.

10 Upon You I was cast from birth;

You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near;

For there is none to help.
