To the chief musician, upon the hind of the dawn; a Psalm of David.{HR}My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?{HR}Far off from my deliverance, the words of my roaring?
My God, I call by day, and thou answerest not,{HR}And by night, and there is no silence for me.
And thou art holy, inhabiting the praises of Israel.
In thee our fathers trusted;{HR}They trusted, and thou dost deliver them.
Unto thee they cried and they were delivered;{HR}In thee they trusted and they were not ashamed.
But I am a worm and not a man,{HR}A reproach of men and despised of the people.
All those who see me mock me,{HR}They open wide with the lip, they shake the head.
Commit [thyself] unto Jehovah;{HR}Let him deliver him;{HR}He will deliver him because he hath delighted in him.
For thou [art] he that didst bring me forth from the womb,{HR}Causing me to trust upon the breasts of my mother.
Upon thee was I cast from the womb;{HR}From the belly of my mother thou [art] my God.
Be not far from me,{HR}For trouble is near,{HR}For there is no helper.
Many bulls have surrounded me;{HR}Strong ones of Bashan have encompassed me.
They opened their mouth upon me,{HR}[Like] a lion tearing in pieces and roaring.
I have been poured out like water,{HR}And all my bones have been separated;{HR}My heart has become like wax,{HR}It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
My strength has been dried up like a potsherd,{HR}And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws;{HR}And in the dust of death thou settest me.
For dogs have surrounded me,{HR}The congregation of evil-doers have encompassed me,{HR}Piercing my hands and my feet.
I number all my bones;{HR}They behold, they look upon me.
They divide my garments amongst themselves{HR}And upon my vestment they cast lots.
But thou, O Jehovah, be not far off;{HR}O my strength, make haste to my help.
Deliver my soul from the sword,{HR}Mine only one from the power of the dog.
Save me from the mouth of the lion,{HR}And from the horns of the buffaloes{HR}Thou hast answered me.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren,{HR}In the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Ye who fear Jehovah, praise him;{HR}All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;{HR}And fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
For he hath not despised nor hath he abhorred the affliction of the poor,{HR}And he hath not hidden his face from him,{HR}And when he cried for help unto him, he heard.
Of thee [is] my praise in the great congregation;{HR}I will perform my vows before those who fear him.
The humble eat and are satisfied;{HR}They praise Jehovah, who seek him;{HR}Your heart shall live forever.
All the ends of the earth shall remember{HR}And shall turn unto Jehovah,{HR}And all tribes of Gentiles shall bow down before thee.
For the kingdom is Jehovah’s;{HR}And he ruleth among the Gentiles.
All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and shall bow down;{HR}Before him shall bend all those who go down to the dust,{HR}And he [who] hath not kept alive his soul.
A seed shall serve him;{HR}It shall be declared by the Lord to the generation;
They shall come and shall tell his righteousness{HR}To a people that shall be born,{HR}That he hath done [it].
