1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Aijeleth365 Shahar,7842 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 My God,410 my God,410 why4100 have you forsaken5800 me? why are you so far7350 from helping3467 me, and from the words1697 of my roaring?7581

2 O my God,430 I cry7121 in the day time,3119 but you hear6030 not; and in the night3915 season, and am not silent.1747

3 But you are holy,6918 O you that inhabit3427 the praises8416 of Israel.3478

4 Our fathers1 trusted982 in you: they trusted,982 and you did deliver6403 them.

5 They cried2199 to you, and were delivered:4422 they trusted982 in you, and were not confounded.954

6 But I am a worm,8438 and no3808 man;376 a reproach2781 of men,120 and despised959 of the people.5971

7 All3605 they that see7200 me laugh3932 me to scorn: they shoot6362 out the lip,8193 they shake5128 the head,7218 saying,

8 He trusted1556 on413 the LORD3068 that he would deliver6403 him: let him deliver5337 him, seeing he delighted2654 in him.

9 But you are he that took1518 me out of the womb:990 you did make me hope982 when I was on my mother's517 breasts.7699

10 I was cast7993 on you from the womb:7358 you are my God410 from my mother's517 belly.990

11 Be not far7368 from me; for trouble6869 is near;7138 for there is none369 to help.5826

12 Many7227 bulls6499 have compassed5437 me: strong47 bulls of Bashan1316 have beset3803 me round.3803

13 They gaped6475 on me with their mouths,6310 as a ravening2963 and a roaring7580 lion.738

14 I am poured8210 out like water,4325 and all3605 my bones6106 are out of joint:6504 my heart3820 is like wax;1749 it is melted4549 in the middle8432 of my bowels.4578

15 My strength3581 is dried3001 up like a potsherd;2789 and my tongue3956 sticks1692 to my jaws;4455 and you have brought8239 me into the dust6083 of death.4194

16 For dogs3611 have compassed5437 me: the assembly5712 of the wicked7489 have enclosed5362 me: they pierced738 my hands3027 and my feet.7272

17 I may tell5608 all3605 my bones:6106 they look5027 and stare7200 on me.

18 They part2505 my garments899 among them, and cast5307 lots1486 on my clothing.3830

19 But be not you far7368 from me, O LORD:3068 O my strength,360 haste2363 you to help5833 me.

20 Deliver5337 my soul5315 from the sword;2719 my darling3173 from the power3027 of the dog.3611

21 Save3467 me from the lion's738 mouth:6310 for you have heard6030 me from the horns7161 of the unicorns.7214

22 I will declare5608 your name8034 to my brothers:251 in the middle8432 of the congregation6951 will I praise1984 you.

23 You that fear3373 the LORD,3068 praise1984 him; all3605 you the seed2233 of Jacob,3290 glorify3513 him; and fear1481 him, all3605 you the seed2233 of Israel.3478

24 For he has not despised959 nor3808 abhorred8262 the affliction6039 of the afflicted;6041 neither3808 has he hid5641 his face6440 from him; but when he cried7768 to him, he heard.8085

25 My praise8416 shall be of you in the great7227 congregation:6951 I will pay7999 my vows5088 before5048 them that fear3373 him.

26 The meek6035 shall eat398 and be satisfied:7646 they shall praise1984 the LORD3068 that seek1875 him: your heart3824 shall live2421 for ever.5703

27 All3605 the ends657 of the world776 shall remember2142 and turn7725 to the LORD:3068 and all3605 the kindreds4940 of the nations1471 shall worship7812 before6440 you.

28 For the kingdom4410 is the LORD's:3068 and he is the governor4910 among the nations.1471

29 All3605 they that be fat1879 on earth776 shall eat398 and worship:7812 all3605 they that go3381 down3381 to the dust6083 shall bow3766 before6440 him: and none3808 can keep alive2421 his own soul.5315

30 A seed2233 shall serve5647 him; it shall be accounted5608 to the Lord136 for a generation.1755

31 They shall come,935 and shall declare5046 his righteousness6666 to a people5971 that shall be born,3205 that he has done6213 this.
