¹My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning. ²O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest. ³Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel. ⁴In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them. ⁵To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed. ⁶But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people. ⁷All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying, ⁸" Commit yourself to the LORD; let Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him." ⁹Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother's breasts. ¹⁰Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother's womb. ¹¹Be not far from me, for trouble is near; For there is none to help. ¹²Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. ¹³They open wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a roaring lion. ¹⁴I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me. ¹⁵My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death. ¹⁶For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. ¹⁷I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me; ¹⁸They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots. ¹⁹But You, O LORD, be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance. ²⁰Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog. ²¹Save me from the lion's mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me. ²²I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You. ²³You who fear the LORD, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel. ²⁴For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard. ²⁵From You comes my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him. ²⁶The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever! ²⁷All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations will worship before You. ²⁸For the kingdom is the LORD'S And He rules over the nations. ²⁹All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive. ³⁰Posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation. ³¹They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has performed it.

Posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation. They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has performed it. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
