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

1bFar from my deliverance are the words of my 2cgroaning.

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

And by night, but 1I have no rest.

3 Yet aYou are holy,

O You who 1are enthroned upon bthe praises of Israel.

4 In You our fathers atrusted;

They trusted and You bdelivered them.

5 To You they cried out and were delivered;

aIn You they trusted and were not 1disappointed.

6 But I am a aworm and not a man,

A breproach of men and cdespised by the people.

7 All who see me 1asneer at me;

They 2separate with the lip, they bwag the head, saying,

8 “1Commit yourself to the Lord; alet Him deliver him;

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

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

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

10 Upon You I was cast afrom 1birth;

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

11 aBe not far from me, for 1trouble is near;

For there is bnone to help.

12 Many abulls have surrounded me;

Strong bulls of bBashan have encircled me.

13 They aopen wide their mouth at me,

As a ravening and a roaring blion.

14 I am apoured out like water,

And all my bbones are out of joint;

My cheart is like wax;

It is melted within 1me.

15 My astrength is dried up like a potsherd,

And bmy tongue cleaves to my jaws;

And You clay me 1in the dust of death.

16 For adogs have surrounded me;

1A band of evildoers has encompassed me;

2They bpierced my hands and my feet.

17 I can count all my bones.

aThey look, they stare at me;

18 They adivide my garments among them,

And for my clothing they cast lots.
