1To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning?
2My God, I cry by day, and thou answerest not; and by night, and there is no rest for me:
3And thou art holy, thou that dwellest amid the praises of Israel.
4Our fathers confided in thee: they confided, and thou didst deliver them.
5They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they confided in thee, and were not confounded.
