TO THE CHOIRMASTER: ACCORDING TO THE DOE OF THE DAWN. A PSALM OF DAVID. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? |
2
|
O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest. |
3
|
Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. |
4
|
In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. |
5
|
To you they cried and were rescued; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. |
6
|
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. |
7
|
All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads; |
8
|
"He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!" |
9
|
Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother's breasts. |
10
|
On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother's womb you have been my God. |
11
|
Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help. |
12
|
Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me; |
13
|
they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion. |
14
|
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast; |
15
|
my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death. |
16
|
For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet- |
17
|
I can count all my bones- they stare and gloat over me; |
18
|
they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. |
19
|
But you, O LORD, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid! |
20
|
Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog! |
21
|
Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen! |
22
|
I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you: |
23
|
You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel! |
24
|
For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him. |
25
|
From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will perform before those who fear him. |
26
|
The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live forever! |
27
|
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. |
28
|
For kingship belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations. |
29
|
All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive. |
30
|
Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation; |
31
|
they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it. |
