1 To the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Deer of the Dawn.' A Psalm of David. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?
1
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?
2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent.
2
My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.
3 But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
3
Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises.
4 Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them.
4
In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them.
5 They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.
5
To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
6
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
