1 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.

22 I will tell of your name to my brothers;
