| 2. | My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer; in the night season, and am not silent. | My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying? | O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. | ||
| 3. | But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel. | O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest. | But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. | ||
| 4. | Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them. | But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel. | Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. | ||
| 5. | They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed. | Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour. | They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. | ||
| 6. | But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people. | They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame. | But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. | ||
| 7. | All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying, | But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people. | All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, | ||
| 8. | "He trusts in Yahweh; let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him." | I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say, | He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. | ||

You made me trust at my mother's breasts. | He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight 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. | ||
| 10. | I was thrown on you from my mother's womb. You are my God since my mother bore me. | But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts. | I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. | ||

You have brought me into the dust of death. | I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body. | 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. | ||

Masoretic Text reads, "Like a lion, they pin my hands and feet."} | My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips. | For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. | ||
| 17. | I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me. | Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet. | I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. | ||
