1For the Chief Musician; set to Aijeleth hash-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 groaning?
2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not; And in the night season, and am not silent.
3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4Our fathers trusted in thee: They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.
6But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7All they that see me laugh me to scorn: They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],
8Commit [thyself] unto Jehovah; let him deliver him: Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.
9But thou art he that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust [when I was] upon my mother’s breasts.
10I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God since my mother bare me.
11Be not far from me; for trouble is near; For there is none to help.
12Many bulls have compassed me; Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13They gape upon me with their mouth, [As] a ravening and a roaring lion.
14I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.
15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
17I may count all my bones. They look and stare upon me;
18They part my garments among them, And upon my vesture do they cast lots.
19But be not thou far off, O Jehovah: O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.
20Deliver my soul from the sword, My darling from the power of the dog.
21Save me from the lion’s mouth; Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.
22I will declare thy name unto my brethren: In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.
23Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24For 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.
25Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26The meek shall eat and be satisfied; They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him: Let your heart live for ever.
27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah; And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28For the kingdom is Jehovah’s; And he is the ruler over the nations.
29All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship: All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
30A seed shall serve him; It shall be told of the Lord unto the [next] generation.
31They shall come and shall declare his righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it.
