| 1 | For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David. |
| 2 | My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry? |
| 3 | O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me. |
| 4 | Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel. |
| 5 | In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them. |
| 6 | Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed. |
| 7 | But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. |
| 8 | All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head: |
| 9 | 'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.' |
| 10 | For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts. |
| 11 | Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb. |
| 12 | Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. |
| 13 | Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. |
| 14 | They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion. |
| 15 | I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts. |
| 16 | My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death. |
| 17 | For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet. |
| 18 | I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me. |
| 19 | They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots. |
| 20 | But Thou, O LORD, be not far off; O Thou my strength, hasten to help me. |
| 21 | Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog. |
| 22 | Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen do Thou answer me. |
| 23 | I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee. |
| 24 | 'Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel. |
| 25 | For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.' |
| 26 | From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear Him. |
| 27 | Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him; may your heart be quickened for ever! |
| 28 | All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. |
| 29 | For the kingdom is the LORD’S; and He is the ruler over the nations. |
| 30 | All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, even he that cannot keep his soul alive. |
| 31 | A seed shall serve him; It shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation. |
| 32 | They shall come and shall declare His righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it. |
