For the Chief Musician; set to “The Doe of the Morning.” A Psalm by David.

[1] My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
[2] My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer;
in the night season, and am not silent.
[3] But you are holy,
you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
[4] Our fathers trusted in you.
They trusted, and you delivered them.
[5] They cried to you, and were delivered.
They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.
[6] But I am a worm, and no man;
a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
[7] All those who see me mock me.
They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
[8] “He trusts in Yahweh.
Let him deliver him.
Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”
[9] But you brought me out of the womb.
You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.
[10] I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb.
You are my God since my mother bore me.
[11] Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near.
For there is no one to help.
[12] Many bulls have surrounded me.
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
[13] They open their mouths wide against me,
lions tearing prey and roaring.
[14] I am poured out like water.
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.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You have brought me into the dust of death.
[16] For dogs have surrounded me.
A company of evildoers have enclosed me.
They have pierced my hands and feet.‡
[17] I can count all of my bones.
They look and stare at me.
[18] They divide my garments among them.
They cast lots for my clothing. [19] But don’t be far off, Yahweh.
You are my help. Hurry to help me!
[20] Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dog.
[21] Save me from the lion’s mouth!
Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen. [22] I will declare your name to my brothers.
Among the assembly, I will praise you.
[23] You who fear Yahweh, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him!
Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
[24] For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted,
neither has he hidden his face from him;
but when he cried to him, he heard. [25] My praise of you comes in the great assembly.
I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
[26] The humble shall eat and be satisfied.
They shall praise Yahweh who seek after him.
Let your hearts live forever.
[27] All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh.
All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
[28] For the kingdom is Yahweh’s.
He is the ruler over the nations.
[29] All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship.
All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him,
even he who can’t keep his soul alive.
[30] Posterity shall serve him.
Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
[31] They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born,
for he has done it.

King James Version

To the chief Musician H5329 upon Aijeleth H365 Shahar, H7837 A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732

[1] My God, H410 my God, H410 why hast thou forsaken H5800 me?
Why art thou so far H7350 from helping H3444 me,§ and from the words H1697 of my roaring? H7581
[2] O my God, H430 I cry H7121 in the daytime, H3119 but thou hearest H6030 not;
And in the night season, H3915 and am not silent. H1747§
[3] But thou art holy, H6918
O thou that inhabitest H3427 the praises H8416 of Israel. H3478
[4] Our fathers H1 trusted H982 in thee:
They trusted, H982 and thou didst deliver H6403 them.
[5] They cried H2199 unto H413 thee, and were delivered: H4422
They trusted H982 in thee, and were not confounded. H954
[6] But I am a worm, H8438 and no man; H376
A reproach H2781 of men, H120 and despised H959 of the people. H5971
[7] All H3605 they that see H7200 me laugh me to scorn: H3932
They shoot§ out H6358 the lip, H8193 they shake H5128 the head, H7218 saying,
[8] He trusted H1556 on the Lord§ H3068 that he would deliver H6403 him:
Let him deliver H5337 him, seeing he delighted H2654 in him.§
[9] But thou art he that took H1518 me out of the womb: H990
Thou didst make me hope H982§ when I was upon my mother’s H517 breasts. H7699
[10] I was cast H7993 upon H5921 thee from the womb: H7358
Thou art my God H410 from my mother’s H517 belly. H990
[11] Be not far H7368 from H4480 me; for trouble H6869 is near; H7138
For there is none to help.§ H5826
[12] Many H7227 bulls H6499 have compassed H5437 me:
Strong H47 bulls of Bashan H1316 have beset me round. H3803
[13] They gaped H6475 upon me with their mouths,§ H6310
As a ravening H2963 and a roaring H7580 lion. H738
[14] I am poured out H8210 like water, H4325 and all my bones H6106 are out of joint: H6504§
My heart H3820 is like wax; H1749 It is melted H4549 in the midst H8432 of my bowels. H4578
[15] My strength H3581 is dried up H3001 like a potsherd; H2789 And my tongue H3956 cleaveth H1692 to my jaws; H4455
And thou hast brought H8239 me into the dust H6083 of death. H4194
[16] For H3588 dogs H3611 have compassed H5437 me:
The assembly H5712 of the wicked H7489 have inclosed H5362 me:
They pierced H3738 H738 my hands H3027 and my feet. H7272 [17] I may tell H5608 all H3605 my bones: H6106
They look H5027 and stare H7200 upon me.
[18] They part H2505 my garments H899 among them,
And cast H5307 lots H1486 upon H5921 my vesture. H3830
[19] But be not thou far H7368 from me, O Lord: H3068
O my strength, H360 haste H2363 thee to help H5833 me.
[20] Deliver H5337 my soul H5315 from the sword; H2719
My darling H3173§ from the power H3027§ of the dog. H3611
[21] Save H3467 me from the lion’s H738 mouth: H6310
For thou hast heard H6030 me from the horns H7161 of the unicorns. H7214
[22] I will declare H5608 thy name H8034 unto my brethren: H251
In the midst H8432 of the congregation H6951 will I praise H1984 thee.
[23] Ye that fear H3373 the Lord, H3068 praise H1984 him;
All ye the seed H2233 of Jacob, H3290 glorify H3513 him; And fear H1481 him, all ye the seed H2233 of Israel. H3478
[24] For H3588 he hath not despised H959 nor abhorred H8262 the affliction H6039 of the afflicted; H6041
Neither hath he hid H5641 his face H6440 from H4480 him; But when he cried H7768 unto H413 him, he heard. H8085
[25] My praise H8416 shall be of thee in the great H7227 congregation: H6951
I will pay H7999 my vows H5088 before them that fear H3373 him.
[26] The meek H6035 shall eat H398 and be satisfied: H7646
They shall praise H1984 the Lord H3068 that seek H1875 him: Your heart H3824 shall live H2421 for ever. H5703
[27] All H3605 the ends H657 of the world H776 shall remember H2142 and turn H7725 unto H413 the Lord: H3068
And all the kindreds H4940 of the nations H1471 shall worship H7812 before H6440 thee.
[28] For H3588 the kingdom H4410 is the Lord’s: H3068
And he is the governor H4910 among the nations. H1471
[29] All they that be fat H1879 upon earth H776 shall eat H398 and worship: H7812
All H3605 they that go down H3381 to the dust H6083 shall bow H3766 before H6440 him:
And none can keep alive H2421 his own soul. H5315
[30] A seed H2233 shall serve H5647 him;
It shall be accounted H5608 to the Lord H136 for a generation. H1755
[31] They shall come, H935 and shall declare H5046 his righteousness H6666
Unto a people H5971 that shall be born, H3205 that he hath done H6213 this.
