1(22-1) For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David. (22-2) My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry?
2(22-3) O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me.
3(22-4) Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
4(22-5) In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.
5(22-6) Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.
6(22-7) But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7(22-8) All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:
8(22-9) 'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.'
9(22-10) For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10(22-11) Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.
11(22-12) Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12(22-13) Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13(22-14) They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14(22-15) 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.
15(22-16) My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death.
16(22-17) For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.
17(22-18) I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.
