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.
