1 My aGod, 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 bpraises of Israel.

4 Our fathers trusted in You;

They trusted, and You delivered them.

5 They cried to You, and were delivered;

cThey trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

6 But I am da worm, and no man;

eA reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7 fAll those who see Me ridicule Me;

They 2shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8 “He g 3trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;

hLet Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”

9 iBut You are He who took Me out of the womb;

You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.

10 I was cast upon You from birth.

From My mother’s womb

jYou have been My God.

11 Be not far from Me,

For trouble is near;

For there is none to help.
