To the chief Musician# upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken# me?
why art thou so far from helping me,
and from the words of my roaring?
[Aijeleth...: or, the hind of the morning]
[helping...: Heb. my salvation]
|
|
|
|
2
|
O my God, I cry# in the daytime, but thou hearest# not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
[am...: Heb. there is no silence to me]
|
|
|
|
3
|
But thou
art holy,
O thou 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
am 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,
saying ,
[shoot...: Heb. open]
|
|
|
|
8
|
He trusted# on the LORD
that he would deliver# him: let him deliver# him, seeing he delighted# in him.
[He trusted...: Heb. He rolled himself on]
[seeing...: or, if he delight in]
|
|
|
|
9
|
But thou
art he that took# me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope#
when I was upon my mother's breasts.
[didst...: or, kept me in safety]
|
|
|
|
10
|
I was cast# upon thee from the womb: thou
art my God from my mother's belly.
|
|
|
|
11
|
Be not far# from me; for trouble
is near; for
there is none to help# .
[none...: Heb. not a helper]
|
|
|
|
12
|
Many bulls have compassed# me: strong
bulls of Bashan have beset me round# .
|
|
|
|
13
|
They gaped# upon me
with their mouths,
as a ravening# and a roaring# lion.
[gaped...: Heb. opened their mouths against me]
|
|
|
|
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.
[out of...: or, sundered]
|
|
|
|
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#
and 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.
[my darling: Heb. my only one]
[power: Heb. hand]
|
|
|
|
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
shall be 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
is the LORD'S: and he
is the governor# among the nations.
|
|
|
|
29
|
All
they that be 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#
this .
