1⁴¹My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? ⁴²⁴³Why are you ⁴⁴so far from yishu'ah ·delivering· me, and from the words of my groaning?

2My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

3But you are holy, you who inhabit the tehilahot ·praise songs· of Israel [God prevails].

4Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.

5They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

6But I am a worm, and no man; ⁴⁵a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7⁴⁶All who see me jeer at ⁴⁷me. They insult me and shake their heads: ⁴⁸

8⁴⁹“He trusts in Adonai ;
so let him set him free! ⁵⁰
Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.” ⁵¹

9⁵²But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.

10I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.

11Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. ⁵³For there is no one to help.

12Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

13They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.

14⁵⁴I am poured out like water. ⁵⁵All my bones are out of joint. ⁵⁶My heart is like wax; it is melted within me.

15My strength is dried up like a potsherd. ⁵⁷My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

16⁵⁸For dogs have surrounded me. ⁵⁹A company of villains have enclosed me.
⁶⁰They have pierced my hands and feet.

17⁶¹I can count all of my bones.
⁶²They look and stare at me.

18⁶³They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing. ⁶⁴

19But don’t be far off, Adonai. You are my help: hurry to help me.

20Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.

21Save me from the lion’s mouth! ⁶⁵Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.

22⁶⁶I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you. ⁶⁷⁶⁸

23You who fear Adonai, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob [Supplanter], glorify him!
Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel [God prevails]!

24For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him;
but when he cried to him, he sh'ma ·heard obeyed·.

25Of you comes my tehilah ·praise song· in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.

26The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise Adonai who seek after him.
Let your hearts live forever.

27⁶⁹All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn ⁷⁰to Adonai . All the relatives of the nations shall hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship before you.

28For the kingdom is Adonai ’s. He is the ruler over the nations.

29All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him,
even he who can’t keep his soul alive.

30Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about 'Adonay [Lord].

31They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.
