upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? far from helping me, the words of my roaring? |
|
|
|
2
|
O my God, 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 the LORD 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 God 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 LORD: 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. |
|
|
|
27
|
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. |
|
|
|
28
|
For the kingdom the LORD'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 . |
