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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
