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

by night, but I find no rest.

1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

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

And in the night season, and am not silent.

1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

Why are you so far away when I groan for 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.

1 My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?

Why are You so far from helping Me,

And from the words of My groaning?

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

And in the night season, and am not silent.

1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

You seem far from saving me,

far away from my groans.

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

but you do not answer.

I call at night;

I am not silent.

1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

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

And in the night season, and am not silent.

1 My •God, my •God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning? 2 My God, I cry by day, and thou answerest not; and by night, and there is no rest for me:

1 My God, my God, 

why have you abandoned me? 

Why are you so far away from helping me, 

so far away from the words of my groaning? 

2 My God, 

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

also at night, but I find no rest. 

1 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

Why are You so far from my deliverance

and from my words of groaning?

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

by night, yet I have no rest.

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?

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

and by night, but find no rest.

1 My God, my God why have you forsaken me?

Why are you far from helping me, far from the words of my groaning?

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

and by night but I have no rest.

1 My God, my God, why have you deserted me?

Why do you seem to be so far away when I need you to save me?

Why do you seem to be so far away that you can’t hear my groans?

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

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

1 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning.

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

And by night, but I have no rest.
