My God, My God,
WHY have You forsaken me?
WHY are You SO FAR from saving me?
SO FAR from the words of my groaning?

My God,
I cry out by day but You DO NOT answer,
by night but I find NO REST.
Yet You are enthroned as the HOLY ONE.
You are the PRAISE of Israel,
in You our ancestors put their TRUST,
They TRUSTED and You DELIVERED them.

They CRIED to You,
and were SAVED.
In You they trusted and were not disappointed.

But I,
am a WORM,
NOT a human being.
I'm SCORNED by everyone, DESPISED by people, ALL who see me MOCK ME,
they hurl insults shaking their heads.
''He trusts in the LORD'' they say,
''Let the LORD rescue him''
''Let Him deliver him since he delights in Him.''
Yet You brought me out of the womb,
You made me feel secure on my mother's breasts.

From birth I was CAST ON You,
from my mother's womb,
You've been MY GOD.
DO NOT be FAR from me for TROUBLE is NEAR,
and there is NO ONE to HELP.
From You comes the THEME of MY PRAISE,
in the great assembly before those who FEAR You,
I will FULFILL my VOWS.
The poor WILL EAT and be SATISFIED.
Those who SEEK the LORD,
will PRAISE HIM.
May Your hearts LIVE FOREVER.
