1. My Elohim, my Elohim, why hast thou forsaken me? far from helping me, the words of my roaring?

2. O my Elohim, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

3. But thou holy, that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

4. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

5. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

6. But I a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

7. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head,

8. He trusted on יְהוָ֥ה he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

9. But thou he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope upon my mother's breasts.

10. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou my Elohim from my mother's belly.

11. Be not far from me; for trouble near; for none to help.

12. Many bulls have compassed me: strong of Bashan have beset me round.

13. They gaped upon me their mouths, a ravening and a roaring lion.

14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

17. I may tell all my bones: they look stare upon me.

18. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

19. But be not thou far from me, O יְהוָ֥ה: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

20. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

21. Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

22. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

23. Ye that fear יְהוָ֥ה, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

24. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

25. My praise of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

26. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise יְהוָ֥ה that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

27. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto יְהוָ֥ה: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

28. For the kingdom יְהוָ֥ה'S: and he the governor among the nations.

29. All fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

30. A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

31. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done.
