Psalms 21:1-8

¹Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David.

²O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.

³O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.

⁴But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.

⁵In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.

⁶They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

⁷But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.

⁸All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
