Isaiah 49:14

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel,

“My way is hidden from the Lord,
And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God”?

For the choir director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

Far from my deliverance are the words of my

groaning.

As for me, I said in my alarm,
“I am cut off from before Your eyes”;
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried to You.

I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ponders:

But You have cast off and rejected,
You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.

I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

Therefore behold, I will surely forget you and cast you away from My presence, along with the city which I gave you and your fathers.

Why do You forget us forever?
Why do You forsake us so long?

“He has given help to Israel His servant,

In remembrance of His mercy,
