The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. Set to "Sunrise."A psalm of David: My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me? Why so far from helping me, so far from my anguished cries?

2 My God, by day I call to you, but you don't answer; likewise at night, but I get no relief.

3 Nevertheless, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Isra'el.

4 In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted, and you rescued them.

5 They cried to you and escaped; they trusted in you and were not disappointed.

6 But I am a worm, not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.

7 All who see me jeer at me; they sneer and shake their heads:

8 "He committed himself to ADONAI, so let him rescue him! Let him set him free if he takes such delight in him!"

9 But you are the one who took me from the womb, you made me trust when I was on my mother's breasts.

10 Since my birth I've been thrown on you; you are my God from my mother's womb.

11 Don't stay far from me, for trouble is near; and there is no one to help.

12 Many bulls surround me, wild bulls of Bashan close in on me.

13 They open their mouths wide against me, like ravening, roaring lions.

14 I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; my heart has become like wax it melts inside me;

15 my mouth is as dry as a fragment of a pot, my tongue sticks to my palate; you lay me down in the dust of death.

16 Dogs are all around me, a pack of villains closes in on me like a lion [at] my hands and feet.

17 I can count every one of my bones, while they gaze at me and gloat.

18 They divide my garments among themselves; for my clothing they throw dice.

19 But you, ADONAI, don't stay far away! My strength, come quickly to help me!

20 Rescue me from the sword, Or: "They pierced my hands and feet." See Introduction, Section VIII, paragraph 6, and Section XIV, footnote 70. my life from the power of the dogs.

21 Save me from the lion's mouth! You have answered me from the wild bulls' horns.

22 I will proclaim your name to my kinsmen; right there in the assembly I will praise you:

23 "You who fear ADONAI, praise him! All descendants of Ya'akov, glorify him! All descendants of Isra'el, stand in awe of him!

24 For he has not despised or abhorred the poverty of the poor; he did not hide his face from him but listened to his cry."

25 Because of you I give praise in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows in the sight of those who fear him.

26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek ADONAI will praise him; Your hearts will enjoy life forever.

27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to ADONAI; all the clans of the nations will worship in your presence.

28 For the kingdom belongs to ADONAI, and he rules the nations.

29 All who prosper on the earth will eat and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him, including him who can't keep himself alive,

30 A descendant will serve him; the next generation will be told of Adonai.

31 They will come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he is the one who did it.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David.> My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?

2 O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.

3 But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.

4 Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.

5 They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.

6 But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.

7 I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,

8 He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.

9 But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.

10 I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.

11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.

12 A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.

13 I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.

14 I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.

15 My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.

16 Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.

17 I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:

18 They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.

19 Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.

20 Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.

21 Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.

22 I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.

23 You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.

24 For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

25 My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.

26 The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

27 All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.

28 For the kingdom is the Lord's; he is the ruler among the nations.

29 All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.

30 A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.

31 They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.
