My God, my God why have you forsaken me? [Why are you] far from helping me, [far from] the words of my groaning?

You who revere Yahweh, praise him! Glorify him, all [you] seed of Jacob, and be in awe of him, all [you] seed of Israel,

because he has not despised nor abhorred [the] affliction of [the] afflicted, and has not hid his face from him; but he listened to him when he cried for help.

They will come and tell his saving [deeds] to a people [yet] to be born, that he has done [it].

[The] afflicted will eat and will be satisfied. Those who seek him will praise Yahweh. May your heart live forever.

Descendants will serve him. Regarding the Lord, it will be told to the [next] generation.

From you [is] my praise. In [the] great assembly, I will pay my vows before those who revere him.

All [the] ends of [the] earth will remember and turn to Yahweh. All [the] families of [the] nations will worship before you.

Because dogs have surrounded me; a gang of evildoers has encircled me. Like the lion [they are at] my hands and my feet.

Because the kingship belongs to Yahweh, and [he] rules over the nations.

They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.

I will tell your name to my brothers; inside [the] assembly I will praise you.

But I [am] a worm and not a man, scorned by humankind and despised by people.

All [who] see me mock me. They open wide [their] lips; they shake [the] head, [saying]:

Yet you [are] holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

O my God, I call by day and you do not answer, and [by] night but I have no rest.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted {within me}.

Yet [you] took me from [the] belly; you made me trust [while] on my mother's breasts.

All [the] {healthy ones} of [the] earth will eat and worship. Before him all [of] those descending [into the] dust will kneel, even he [who] cannot keep his soul alive.

I can count all my bones; they gaze, they look at me.

On you I was cast from [the] womb. From my mother's belly you [have been] my God.

Many bulls have encircled me; mighty [bulls] of Bashan have surrounded me.

But you, O Yahweh, do not remain distant. O my help, hasten to help me.

My strength is dry like a potsherd, and my tongue is sticking [to] my jaws; and you have placed me in [the] dust of death.

Save me from [the] mouth of [the] lion, and from [the] horns of [the] wild oxen answer me.

Our ancestors trusted you; they trusted and you delivered them.

"{He trusts Yahweh}. Let him rescue him. Let him deliver him because he delights in him."

Do not be far from me because trouble [is] near; because there is no helper.

They cried to you and were saved; they trusted you and were not ashamed.

They open their mouth against me [like] a lion tearing and roaring.

Rescue my life from [the] sword, my only [life] from [the] power of [the] dogs.
