Psalm To the chief Musician upon
Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

why art thou so far from helping me,
and from the words of my roaring?

O my God, I cry in the day time,
but thou hearest not; and in the

night season, and am not silent.

But thou art holy, O thou that
inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Our fathers trusted in thee: they
trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

They cried unto thee, and were
delivered: they trusted in

thee, and were not confounded.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach
of men, and despised of the people.

All they that see me laugh me to
scorn: they shoot out the lip,

they shake the head, saying,

He trusted on the Lord that he
would deliver him: let him deliver

him, seeing he delighted in him.

But thou art he that took me out of
the womb: thou didst make me hope

when I was upon my mother's breasts.

I was cast upon thee from the womb:
thou art my God from my mother's belly.

Be not far from me; for trouble is
near; for there is none to help.

Many bulls have compassed me: strong
bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

They gaped upon me with their mouths,
as a ravening and a roaring lion.

I am poured out like water, and
all my bones are out of joint:

my heart is like wax; it is
melted in the midst of my bowels.

My strength is dried up like a
potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth

to my jaws; and thou hast brought
me into the dust of death.

For dogs have compassed me: the
assembly of the wicked have inclosed

me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

I may tell all my bones:
they look and stare upon me.

They part my garments among them,
and cast lots upon my vesture.

But be not thou far from me, O Lord:
O my strength, haste thee to help me.

Deliver my soul from the sword; my
darling from the power of the dog.

Save me from the lion's mouth:
for thou hast heard me from

the horns of the unicorns.

I will declare thy name unto my
brethren: in the midst of the

congregation will I praise thee.

Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all
ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and

fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred
the affliction of the afflicted;

neither hath he hid his face from him;
but when he cried unto him, he heard.

My praise shall be of thee in the
great congregation: I will pay my

vows before them that fear him.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied:
they shall praise the Lord that seek

him: your heart shall live for ever.

All the ends of the world shall
remember and turn unto the Lord:

and all the kindreds of the
nations shall worship before thee.

For the kingdom is the Lord's: and
he is the governor among the nations.

All they that be fat upon earth shall
eat and worship: all they that go

down to the dust shall bow before him:
and none can keep alive his own soul.

A seed shall serve him; it shall be
accounted to the Lord for a generation.

They shall come, and shall declare
his righteousness unto a people that

shall be born, that he hath done this.
