For the Chief Musician; set to
Aijaleth hash-Shahar. A Psalm of
David.
1
My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?
[Why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of
my groaning?
2
O my God, I cry in the daytime,
but thou answerest not;
And in the night season, and am not silent.
3
But thou art holy,
O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4
Our fathers trusted in thee:
They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5
They cried unto thee, and
were delivered:
They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.
6
But I am a worm, and no man;
A reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7
All they that see me laugh me
to scorn:
They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],
8
Commit [thyself] unto
Jehovah;
Let him deliver him:
Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.
9
But thou art he that took me
out of the womb;
Thou didst make me trust [when I was] upon my mother's breasts.
10
I was cast upon thee from the
womb;
Thou art my God since my mother bare me.
11
Be not far from me; for
trouble is near;
For there is none to help.
12
Many bulls have compassed me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13
They gape upon me with their
mouth,
[As] a ravening and a roaring lion.
14
I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint:
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.
15
My strength is dried up like
a potsherd;
And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws;
And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16
For dogs have compassed me:
A company of evil-doers have inclosed me;
They pierced my hands and my feet.
17
I may count all my bones;
They look and stare upon me.
18
They part my garments among
them,
And upon my vesture do they cast lots.
19
But be not thou far off, O
Jehovah:
O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.
2
0 Deliver my soul from the
sword,
My darling from the power of the dog.
21
Save me from the lion's
mouth;
Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.
22
I will declare thy name unto
my brethren:
In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.
23
Ye that fear Jehovah, praise
him;
All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;
And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24
For he hath not despised nor
abhorred the affliction of
the afflicted;
Neither hath he hid his face from him;
But when he cried unto him, he heard.
25
Of thee cometh my praise in
the great assembly:
I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26
The meek shall eat and be
satisfied;
They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him:
Let your heart live for ever.
27
All the ends of the earth
shall remember and turn unto
Jehovah;
And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28
For the kingdom is Jehovah's;
And he is the ruler over the nations.
29
All the fat ones of the earth
shall eat and worship:
All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him,
Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
30
A seed shall serve him;
It shall be told of the Lord unto the [next] generation.
31
They shall come and shall
declare his righteousness
Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it.
