| 1. | {To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David.} |
| 2. | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning? |
| 3. | My God, I cry by day, and thou answerest not; and by night, and there is no rest for me: |
| 4. | And thou art holy, thou that dwellest amid the praises of Israel. |
| 5. | Our fathers confided in thee: they confided, and thou didst deliver them. |
| 6. | They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they confided in thee, and were not confounded. |
| 7. | But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and the despised of the people. |
| 8. | All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying: |
| 9. | Commit it to Jehovah -- let him rescue him; let him deliver him, because he delighteth in him! |
| 10. | But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me trust, upon my mother`s breasts. |
| 11. | I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my łGod from my mother`s belly. |
| 12. | Be not far from me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help. |
| 13. | Many bulls have encompassed me; Bashan`s strong ones have beset me round. |
| 14. | They gape upon me with their mouth, as a ravening and a roaring lion. |
| 15. | I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is become like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. |
| 16. | My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and thou hast laid me in the dust of death. |
| 17. | For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my feet. |
| 18. | I may count all my bones. They look, they stare upon me; |
| 19. | They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. |
| 20. | But thou, Jehovah, be not far from me; O my strength, haste thee to help me. |
| 21. | Deliver my soul from the sword; my only one from the power of the dog; |
| 22. | Save me from the lion`s mouth. Yea, from the horns of the buffaloes hast thou answered me. |
| 23. | I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. |
| 24. | Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and revere him, all ye the seed of Israel. |
| 25. | 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. |
| 26. | My praise is from thee, in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him. |
| 27. | The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise Jehovah that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. |
| 28. | All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah, and all the families of the nations shall worship before thee: |
| 29. | For the kingdom is Jehovah`s, and he ruleth among the nations. |
| 30. | All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, and he that cannot keep alive his own soul. |
| 31. | A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. |
| 32. | They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it. |
