Psalms 21:1-10

¹For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David.

²O God, my God, attend to me: why hast thou forsaken me? The account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.

³O my God, I will cry to thee by day, but thou wilt not hear: And by night, and it shall not be accounted for folly to me.

⁴But thou, the praise of Israel, dwellest in a sanctuary.

⁵Our fathers hoped in thee; They hoped, and thou didst deliver them.

⁶They cried to thee, and were saved: They hoped in thee, and were not ashamed.

⁷But I am a worm, and not a man; A reproach of men, and scorn of the people.

⁸All that saw me mocked me: They spoke with their lips, they shook the head, saying,

⁹He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, Let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.

¹⁰For thou art he that drew me out of the womb; My hope from my mother’s breasts.
