Psalms 22:1-6

¹To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David. My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?

²O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.

³But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.

⁴Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.

⁵They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.

⁶But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.
