1 To the chief Musician5329 upon5921 Aijeleth365 Shahar,7837 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 My God,410 my God,410 why4100 hast thou forsaken5800 me? why art thou so far7350 from helping4480 3444 me, and from the words1697 of my roaring?7581

2 O my God,430 I cry7121 in the daytime,3119 but thou hearest6030 not;3808 and in the night season,3915 and am not3808 silent.1747

3 But thou859 art holy,6918 O thou that inhabitest3427 the praises8416 of Israel.3478

4 Our fathers1 trusted982 in thee: they trusted,982 and thou didst deliver6403 them.

5 They cried2199 unto413 thee, and were delivered:4422 they trusted982 in thee, and were not3808 confounded.954

6 But I595 am a worm,8438 and no3808 man;376 a reproach2781 of men,120 and despised959 of the people.5971

7 All3605 they that see7200 me laugh3932 me to scorn: they shoot out6362 the lip,8193 they shake5128 the head,7218 saying,

8 He trusted1556 on413 the LORD3068 that he would deliver6403 him: let him deliver5337 him, seeing3588 he delighted2654 in him.

9 But3588 thou859 art he that took1518 me out of the womb:4480 990 thou didst make me hope982 when I was upon5921 my mother's517 breasts.7699

10 I was cast7993 upon5921 thee from the womb:4480 7358 thou859 art my God410 from my mother's517 belly.4480 990

11 Be not408 far7368 from4480 me; for3588 trouble6869 is near;7138 for3588 there is none369 to help.5826

12 Many7227 bulls6499 have compassed5437 me: strong47 bulls of Bashan1316 have beset me round.3803

13 They gaped6475 upon5921 me with their mouths,6310 as a ravening2963 and a roaring7580 lion.738

14 I am poured out8210 like water,4325 and all3605 my bones6106 are out of joint:6504 my heart3820 is1961 like wax;1749 it is melted4549 in the midst8432 of my bowels.4578

15 My strength3581 is dried up3001 like a potsherd;2789 and my tongue3956 cleaveth1692 to my jaws;4455 and thou hast brought8239 me into the dust6083 of death.4194

16 For3588 dogs3611 have compassed5437 me: the assembly5712 of the wicked7489 have enclosed5362 me: they pierced738 my hands3027 and my feet.7272

17 I may tell5608 all3605 my bones:6106 they1992 look5027 and stare7200 upon me.

18 They part2505 my garments899 among them, and cast5307 lots1486 upon5921 my vesture.3830

19 But be not408 thou859 far7368 from me, O LORD:3068 O my strength,360 haste2363 thee to help5833 me.

20 Deliver5337 my soul5315 from the sword;4480 2719 my darling3173 from the power4480 3027 of the dog.3611

21 Save3467 me from the lion's738 mouth:4480 6310 for thou hast heard6030 me from the horns4480 7161 of the unicorns.7214

22 I will declare5608 thy name8034 unto my brethren:251 in the midst8432 of the congregation6951 will I praise1984 thee.

23 Ye that fear3373 the LORD,3068 praise1984 him; all3605 ye the seed2233 of Jacob,3290 glorify3513 him; and fear1481 4480 him, all3605 ye the seed2233 of Israel.3478

24 For3588 he hath not3808 despised959 nor3808 abhorred8262 the affliction6039 of the afflicted;6041 neither3808 hath he hid5641 his face6440 from4480 him; but when he cried7768 unto413 him, he heard.8085

25 My praise8416 shall be of4480 854 thee in the great7227 congregation:6951 I will pay7999 my vows5088 before5048 them that fear3373 him.

26 The meek6035 shall eat398 and be satisfied:7646 they shall praise1984 the LORD3068 that seek1875 him: your heart3824 shall live2421 forever.5703

27 All3605 the ends657 of the world776 shall remember2142 and turn7725 unto413 the LORD:3068 and all3605 the kindreds4940 of the nations1471 shall worship7812 before6440 thee.

28 For3588 the kingdom4410 is the LORD's:3068 and he is the governor4910 among the nations.1471

29 All3605 they that be fat1879 upon earth776 shall eat398 and worship:7812 all3605 they that go down3381 to the dust6083 shall bow3766 before6440 him: and none3808 can keep alive2421 his own soul.5315

30 A seed2233 shall serve5647 him; it shall be accounted5608 to the Lord136 for a generation.1755

31 They shall come,935 and shall declare5046 his righteousness6666 unto a people5971 that shall be born,3205 that3588 he hath done6213 this.
