For the music director; according to the tune "Morning Doe;" a psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? I groan in prayer, but help seems far away.

Even if my father and mother abandoned me, the Lord would take me in.

They say, "God has abandoned him. Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!"

He abandoned the sanctuary at Shiloh, the tent where he lived among men.
