Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him For the help of his countenance.

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast us not off for ever.

Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God endureth continually.

Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever.

O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? Pluck it out of thy bosom and consume them .

Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?

Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me?
