Psalm 22:2–11

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

by night,x but I find no rest.b

3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;y

you are the one Israel praises.c z

4 In you our ancestors put their trust;

they trusted and you delivered them.a

5 To you they cried outb and were saved;

in you they trustedc and were not put to shame.d

6 But I am a worme and not a man,

scorned by everyone,f despisedg by the people.

7 All who see me mock me;h

they hurl insults,i shaking their heads.j

8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,

“let the Lord rescue him.k

Let him deliver him,l

since he delightsm in him.”

9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;n

you made me trusto in you, even at my mother’s breast.

10 From birthp I was cast on you;

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

11 Do not be far from me,q

for trouble is nearr

and there is no one to help.s
