Psalms 22:1-3

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Doe of the Morning.” A psalm of David.

1 [a]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 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.[b]
3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises.[c]
