[For the music director; according to the tune "Morning Doe;" a psalm of David.] My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? I groan in prayer, but help seems far away. |
2
|
My God, I cry out during the day, but you do not answer, and during the night my prayers do not let up. |
3
|
You are holy; you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel. |
4
|
In you our ancestors trusted; they trusted in you and you rescued them. |
5
|
To you they cried out, and they were saved; in you they trusted and they were not disappointed. |
6
|
But I am a worm, not a man; people insult me and despise me. |
7
|
All who see me taunt me; they mock me and shake their heads. |
8
|
They say, "Commit yourself to the LORD! Let the LORD rescue him! Let the LORD deliver him, for he delights in him." |
9
|
Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womb and made me feel secure on my mother's breasts. |
10
|
I have been dependent on you since birth; from the time I came out of my mother's womb you have been my God. |
11
|
Do not remain far away from me, for trouble is near and I have no one to help me. |
12
|
Many bulls surround me; powerful bulls of Bashan hem me in. |
13
|
They open their mouths to devour me like a roaring lion that rips its prey. |
14
|
My strength drains away like water; all my bones are dislocated; my heart is like wax; it melts away inside me. |
15
|
The roof of my mouth is as dry as a piece of pottery; my tongue sticks to my gums. You set me in the dust of death. |
16
|
Yes, wild dogs surround me— a gang of evil men crowd around me; like a lion they pin my hands and feet. |
17
|
I can count all my bones; my enemies are gloating over me in triumph. |
18
|
They are dividing up my clothes among themselves; they are rolling dice for my garments. |
19
|
But you, O LORD, do not remain far away! You are my source of strength! Hurry and help me! |
20
|
Deliver me from the sword! Save my life from the claws of the wild dogs! |
21
|
Rescue me from the mouth of the lion, and from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered me! |
22
|
I will declare your name to my countrymen! In the middle of the assembly I will praise you! |
23
|
You loyal followers of the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! All you descendants of Israel, stand in awe of him! |
24
|
For he did not despise or detest the suffering of the oppressed; he did not ignore him; when he cried out to him, he responded. |
25
|
You are the reason I offer praise in the great assembly; I will fulfill my promises before the LORD's loyal followers. |
26
|
Let the oppressed eat and be filled! Let those who seek his help praise the LORD! May you live forever! |
27
|
Let all the people of the earth acknowledge the LORD and turn to him! Let all the nations worship you! |
28
|
For the LORD is king and rules over the nations. |
29
|
All of the thriving people of the earth will join the celebration and worship; all those who are descending into the grave will bow before him, including those who cannot preserve their lives. |
30
|
A whole generation will serve him; they will tell the next generation about the sovereign Lord. |
31
|
They will come and tell about his saving deeds; they will tell a future generation what he has accomplished. |
