1To the chief Musician5329 upon Aijeleth365 Shahar7837, A Psalm4210 of David1732. My God410, my God410, why hast thou forsaken5800 me? why art thou so far7350 from helping3444 me, and from the words1697 of my roaring7581?
2O my God430, I cry7121 in the daytime3119, but thou hearest6030 not; and in the night season3915, and am not silent1747.
3But thou art holy6918, O thou that inhabitest3427 the praises8416 of Israel3478.
4Our fathers1 trusted982 in thee: they trusted982, and thou didst deliver6403 them.
5They cried2199 unto thee, and were delivered4422: they trusted982 in thee, and were not confounded954.
6But I am a worm8438, and no man376; a reproach2781 of men120, and despised959 of the people5971.
7All they that see7200 me laugh me to scorn3932: they shoot out6358 the lip8193, they shake5128 the head7218, saying,
8He trusted1556 on the LORD3068 that he would deliver6403 him: let him deliver5337 him, seeing he delighted2654 in him.
9But thou art he that took1518 me out of the womb990: thou didst make me hope982 when I was upon my mother's517 breasts7699.
10I was cast7993 upon thee from the womb7358: thou art my God410 from my mother's517 belly990.
11Be not far7368 from me; for trouble6869 is near7138; for there is none to help5826.
12Many7227 bulls6499 have compassed5437 me: strong47 bulls of Bashan1316 have beset me round3803.
13They gaped6475 upon me with their mouths6310, as a ravening2963 and a roaring7580 lion738.
14I am poured out8210 like water4325, and all my bones6106 are out of joint6504: my heart3820 is like wax1749; it is melted4549 in the midst8432 of my bowels4578.
15My strength3581 is dried up3001 like a potsherd2789; and my tongue3956 cleaveth1692 to my jaws4455; and thou hast brought8239 me into the dust6083 of death4194.
16For dogs3611 have compassed5437 me: the assembly5712 of the wicked7489 have inclosed5362 me: they pierced3738 738 my hands3027 and my feet7272.
17I may tell5608 all my bones6106: they look5027 and stare7200 upon me.
18They part2505 my garments899 among them, and cast5307 lots1486 upon my vesture3830.
19But be not thou far7368 from me, O LORD3068: O my strength360, haste2363 thee to help5833 me.
20Deliver5337 my soul5315 from the sword2719; my darling3173 from the power3027 of the dog3611.
21Save3467 me from the lion's738 mouth6310: for thou hast heard6030 me from the horns7161 of the unicorns7214.
22I will declare5608 thy name8034 unto my brethren251: in the midst8432 of the congregation6951 will I praise1984 thee.
23Ye that fear3373 the LORD3068, praise1984 him; all ye the seed2233 of Jacob3290, glorify3513 him; and fear1481 him, all ye the seed2233 of Israel3478.
24For he hath not despised959 nor abhorred8262 the affliction6039 of the afflicted6041; neither hath he hid5641 his face6440 from him; but when he cried7768 unto him, he heard8085.
25My praise8416 shall be of thee in the great7227 congregation6951: I will pay7999 my vows5088 before them that fear3373 him.
26The meek6035 shall eat398 and be satisfied7646: they shall praise1984 the LORD3068 that seek1875 him: your heart3824 shall live2421 for ever5703.
27All the ends657 of the world776 shall remember2142 and turn7725 unto the LORD3068: and all the kindreds4940 of the nations1471 shall worship7812 before6440 thee.
28For the kingdom4410 is the LORD'S3068: and he is the governor4910 among the nations1471.
29All they that be fat1879 upon earth776 shall eat398 and worship7812: all they that go down3381 to the dust6083 shall bow3766 before6440 him: and none can keep alive2421 his own soul5315.
30A seed2233 shall serve5647 him; it shall be accounted5608 to the Lord136 for a generation1755.
31They shall come935, and shall declare5046 his righteousness6666 unto a people5971 that shall be born3205, that he hath done6213 this.
