| [To the choirmaster: according to The Hind of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.] | Sufferings & Hope for the Virtuous Man. | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 1 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning? | Antiphonal Psalm for solemn Entry into the Sanctuary. | <DD> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||
| 2 | O my God, I cry by day, but thou dost not answer; and by night, but find no rest. | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 3 | Yet thou art holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 4 | In thee our fathers trusted; they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 5 | To thee they cried, and were saved; n thee they trusted, and were not disappointed. | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 6 | But I am a worm, and no man; scorned by men, and despised by the people. | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 7 | All who see me mock at me, they make mouths at me, they wag their heads; | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 8 | "He committed his cause to the LORD; let him deliver him, let him rescue him, for he delights in him!" | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 9 | Yet thou art he who took me from the womb; thou didst keep me safe upon my mother's breasts. | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 10 | Upon thee was I cast from my birth, and since my mother bore me thou hast been my God. | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 11 | Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is none to help. | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 12 | Many bulls encompass me, strong bulls of Bashan surround me; | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 13 | they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion. | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 14 | I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax, it is melted within my breast; | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 15 | my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; thou dost lay me in the dust of death. | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 16 | Yea, dogs are round about me; a company of evildoers encircle me; they have pierced my hands and feet - | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 17 | I can count all my bones - they stare and gloat over me; | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 18 | they divide my garments among them, and for my raiment they cast lots. | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 19 | But thou, O LORD, be not far off! O thou my help, hasten to my aid! | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 20 | Deliver my soul from the sword, my life from the power of the dog! | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 21 | Save me from the mouth of the lion, my afflicted soul from the horns of the wild oxen! | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 22 | I will tell of thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the congregation I will praise thee: | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 23 | You who fear the LORD, praise him! all you sons of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you sons of Israel! | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 24 | For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; and he has not hid his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him. | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 25 | From thee comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will pay before those who fear him. | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 26 | The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live for ever! | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 27 | All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him. | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 28 | For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations. | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 29 | Yea, to him shall all the proud of the earth bow down; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and he who cannot keep himself alive. | <p> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
| 30 | Posterity shall serve him; men shall tell of the Lord to the coming generation, | Mgn | Edit | <p> | ||||
| 31 | and proclaim his deliverance to a people unborn, that he has wrought it. | </DD> | Mgn | Edit | <p> | |||
