Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and why do the peoples meditate a vain thing?

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

{To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning?

Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, for the health 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?

Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

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

Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

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

{To the chief Musician: an instruction. Of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech.} Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness of God abideth continually.

Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell there for ever.

{An instruction: of Asaph.} Why, O God, hast thou cast off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom: consume them.

Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it?

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