1. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from my deliverance and from my words of groaning?
2. My God, I cry by day, but You do not answer,by night, yet I have no rest.
3. But You are holy,enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4. Our fathers trusted in You;they trusted, and You rescued them.
5. They cried to You and were set free;they trusted in You and were not disgraced.
6. But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by people.
7. Everyone who sees me mocks me;they sneer and shake their heads:
8. “He relies on the Lord;let Him rescue him;let the Lord deliver him,since He takes pleasure in him.”
