1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken
me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from my cries of anguish?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not
answer,
by night, but I find no rest.[b]
3 Yet you are
enthroned as the Holy One;
you are the one Israel praises.[c]
4 In you our ancestors put their
trust;
they trusted and you delivered
them.
5 To you they cried out and were
saved;
in you they trusted and were not put to
shame.
6 But I am a worm
and not a man,
scorned by everyone, despised by the
people.
7 All who see me mock me;
they hurl insults, shaking their
heads.
8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
“let the Lord rescue
him.
Let him deliver him,
since he delights in him.”
9 Yet you brought
me out of the womb;
you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s
breast.
10 From birth I was cast on you;
from my mother’s womb you have been my
God.
11 Do not be far
from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help.
12 Many bulls
surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle
me.
13 Roaring lions that tear their
prey
open their mouths wide against
me.
