1. My God, my God, why have you deserted me? Why do you seem to be so far away when I need you to save me? Why do you seem to be so far away that you can't hear my groans?
2. My God, I cry out in the daytime. But you don't answer. I cry out at night. I can't keep quiet.
3. But you rule from your throne as the Holy One. You are the God Israel praises.
