Psalm 22:1–11

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

Why are you so vfar from saving me, from the words of my wgroaning?

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

and by night, but I find no rest.

3  Yet you are yholy,

zenthroned on athe praises1 of Israel.

4  In you our fathers trusted;

they trusted, and you delivered them.

5  To you they bcried and were rescued;

in you they ctrusted and were not put to shame.

6  But I am da worm and not a man,

escorned by mankind and fdespised by the people.

7  All who see me gmock me;

they make mouths at me; they hwag their heads;

8  i“He trusts in the Lord; let him jdeliver him;

let him rescue him, for he kdelights in him!”

9  Yet you are he who ltook me from the womb;

you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts.

10  On you was I cast from my birth,

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

11  Be not nfar from me,

for trouble is near,

and there is onone to help.
