To the chiefH5329 MusicianH5329 upon AijelethH365 Shahar,H7842 A PsalmH4210 of David.H1732 My God,H410 my God,H410 whyH4100 have you forsakenH5800 me? why are you so farH7350 from helpingH3467 me, and from the wordsH1697 of my roaring?H7581
2
O my God,H430 I cryH7121 in the day time,H3119 but you hearH6030 not; and in the nightH3915 season, and am not silent.H1747
3
But you are holy,H6918 O you that inhabitH3427 the praisesH8416 of Israel.H3478
4
Our fathersH1 trustedH982 in you: they trusted,H982 and you did deliverH6403 them.
5
They criedH2199 to you, and were delivered:H4422 they trustedH982 in you, and were not confounded.H954
6
But I am a worm,H8438 and noH3808 man;H376 a reproachH2781 of men,H120 and despisedH959 of the people.H5971
7
AllH3605 they that seeH7200 me laughH3932 me to scorn: they shootH6362 out the lip,H8193 they shakeH5128 the head,H7218 saying,
8
He trustedH1556 onH413 the LORDH3068 that he would deliverH6403 him: let him deliverH5337 him, seeing he delightedH2654 in him.
9
But you are he that tookH1518 me out of the womb:H990 you did make me hopeH982 when I was on my mother'sH517 breasts.H7699
10
I was castH7993 on you from the womb:H7358 you are my GodH410 from my mother'sH517 belly.H990
11
Be not farH7368 from me; for troubleH6869 is near;H7138 for there is noneH369 to help.H5826
12
ManyH7227 bullsH6499 have compassedH5437 me: strongH47 bulls of BashanH1316 have besetH3803 me round.H3803
13
They gapedH6475 on me with their mouths,H6310 as a raveningH2963 and a roaringH7580 lion.H738
14
I am pouredH8210 out like water,H4325 and allH3605 my bonesH6106 are out of joint:H6504 my heartH3820 is like wax;H1749 it is meltedH4549 in the middleH8432 of my bowels.H4578
15
My strengthH3581 is driedH3001 up like a potsherd;H2789 and my tongueH3956 sticksH1692 to my jaws;H4455 and you have broughtH8239 me into the dustH6083 of death.H4194
16
For dogsH3611 have compassedH5437 me: the assemblyH5712 of the wickedH7489 have enclosedH5362 me: they piercedH738 my handsH3027 and my feet.H7272
17
I may tellH5608 allH3605 my bones:H6106 they lookH5027 and stareH7200 on me.
18
They partH2505 my garmentsH899 among them, and castH5307 lotsH1486 on my clothing.H3830
19
But be not you farH7368 from me, O LORD:H3068 O my strength,H360 hasteH2363 you to helpH5833 me.
20
DeliverH5337 my soulH5315 from the sword;H2719 my darlingH3173 from the powerH3027 of the dog.H3611
21
SaveH3467 me from the lion'sH738 mouth:H6310 for you have heardH6030 me from the hornsH7161 of the unicorns.H7214
22
I will declareH5608 your nameH8034 to my brothers:H251 in the middleH8432 of the congregationH6951 will I praiseH1984 you.
23
You that fearH3373 the LORD,H3068 praiseH1984 him; allH3605 you the seedH2233 of Jacob,H3290 glorifyH3513 him; and fearH1481 him, allH3605 you the seedH2233 of Israel.H3478
24
For he has not despisedH959 norH3808 abhorredH8262 the afflictionH6039 of the afflicted;H6041 neitherH3808 has he hidH5641 his faceH6440 from him; but when he criedH7768 to him, he heard.H8085
25
My praiseH8416 shall be of you in the greatH7227 congregation:H6951 I will payH7999 my vowsH5088 beforeH5048 them that fearH3373 him.
26
The meekH6035 shall eatH398 and be satisfied:H7646 they shall praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 that seekH1875 him: your heartH3824 shall liveH2421 for ever.H5703
27
AllH3605 the endsH657 of the worldH776 shall rememberH2142 and turnH7725 to the LORD:H3068 and allH3605 the kindredsH4940 of the nationsH1471 shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 you.
28
For the kingdomH4410 is the LORD's:H3068 and he is the governorH4910 among the nations.H1471
29
AllH3605 they that be fatH1879 on earthH776 shall eatH398 and worship:H7812 allH3605 they that goH3381 downH3381 to the dustH6083 shall bowH3766 beforeH6440 him: and noneH3808 can keep aliveH2421 his own soul.H5315
30
A seedH2233 shall serveH5647 him; it shall be accountedH5608 to the LordH136 for a generation.H1755
31
They shall come,H935 and shall declareH5046 his righteousnessH6666 to a peopleH5971 that shall be born,H3205 that he has doneH6213 this.
