<center>''To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.''</center>
'''1''' My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ''why art thou'' so far from helping me, ''and from'' the words of my roaring?
'''2''' O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest 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 confounded.
'''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''' He trusted on the Lord ''that'' he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
'''9''' But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope ''when I was'' upon my mother's breasts.
'''10''' I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou ''art'' my God from my mother's belly.
'''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 gaped upon me ''with'' their mouths, ''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 in the midst of my bowels.
'''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: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
'''17''' I may tell all my bones: they look ''and'' stare upon me.
'''18''' They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
'''19''' But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
'''20''' Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
'''21''' Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
'''22''' I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
'''23''' Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear 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''' My praise ''shall be'' of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
'''26''' The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
'''27''' All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
'''28''' For the kingdom ''is'' the Lord's: and he ''is'' the governor among the nations.
'''29''' All ''they that be'' fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
'''30''' A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
'''31''' They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done ''this''.
