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

Why are you so far from my deliverancev

and from my words of groaning?w

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

by night, yet I have no rest.x

3 But you are holy,

enthroned on the praises of Israel.y

4 Our ancestors trusted in you;

they trusted, and you rescued them.z

5 They cried to you and were set free;

they trusted in you and were not disgraced.aa

6 But I am a worm and not a man,ab

scorned by mankind and despised by people.ac

7 Everyone who sees me mocks me;

they sneerD and shake their heads:ad

8 “He relies onE the Lord;

let him save him;

let the LordF rescue him,

since he takes pleasure in him.”ae

9 It was you who brought me out of the womb,

making me secure at my mother’s breast.af

10 I was given over to you at birth;G

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