Psalm 22

A Cry of Anguish and a Song of Praise.

For the music director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.

1My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

Far from my help are the words of my groaning.

2My God, I cry out by day, but You do not answer;

And by night, but I have no rest.

3Yet You are holy,

You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

4In You our fathers trusted;

They trusted and You rescued them.

5To You they cried out and they fled to safety;

In You they trusted and were not disappointed.

6But I am a worm and not a person,

A disgrace of mankind and despised by the people.

7All who see me deride me;

They sneer, they shake their heads, saying,

8“Turn him over to the Lord; let Him save him;

Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”

9Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb;

You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.

10I was cast upon You from birth;

You have been my God from my mother’s womb.
