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.
