1To the Chanter upon Aieleth of the dawning, a Psalm of David. My God, my God: why hast thou forsaken me? the words of my complaint are far from my health.
2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not: and in the night season also I take no rest.
3Yet dwellest thou in the sanctuary, O thou worship of Israel.
4Our fathers hoped in thee, they trusted in thee, and thou didst(diddest) deliver them.
5They called upon thee, and were helped: they put their trust in thee, and were not confounded.
6But as for me, I am a worm and no man: a very scorn of men and the outcast of the people.
7All they that see me, laugh me to scorn: they shoot out their lips, and shake their heads.
8He trusted in God, let him deliver him: let him help him, if he will have him.
9But thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb: thou wast my hope, when I hanged yet upon my mother's breasts.
10I have been left unto thee ever since I was born, thou art my God, even from my mother's womb.
11O go not far from me then, for trouble is hard at hand, and here is none to help me.
12Great bulls are come about me, fat oxen close me in on every side.
13They gape upon me with their mouths, as it were a rampaging and roaring lion.
14I am poured out like water, all my bones are out of joint: my heart in the middest of my body is even like melting wax.
15My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my gums, and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16For dogs are come about me, the counsel of the wicked hath laid siege against me.
17They pierced my hands and my feet, I might have told all my bones: as for them, they stood staring and looking upon me.
18They have parted my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19But be not thou far from me, O LORD: thou art my succour, haste thee to help me.
20Deliver my soul from the sword, my dearling from the power of the dog.
21Save me from the lion's mouth, and hear me from among the horns of the unicorns.
22So will I declare thy name unto my brethren, in the middest of the congregation will I praise thee.
23O praise the LORD ye that fear him: Magnify him all ye seed of Jacob, and let all the seed of Israel fear him.
24For he hath not despised nor abhorred the miserable estate of the poor: he hath not hid his face from me, but when I called unto him, he heard me.
25I will praise thee in the great congregation, and perform my vows in the sight of all them that fear thee.
26The poor shall eat and be satisfied: they that seek after the LORD shall praise him: our heart shall live for ever.
27All the ends of the world shall remember themselves, and be turned unto the LORD: and all the generations of the Heathen shall worship before him.
28For the kingdom is the LORD's, and he shall be the governour of the Heathen.
29All such as be fat upon earth, shall eat also and worship. All they that lie in the dust, and live so hardly, shall fall down before him.
30The seed shall serve him, and preach of the Lord(LORDE) forever.
31They shall come, and declare his righteousness: unto a people that shall be born, whom the Lord(LORDE) hath made.
