Psalms 22:1-8

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.

1 ^aMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so ^bfar from saving me, from the words of my ^cgroaning?
2 O my God, I cry by ^dday, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are ^eholy,
^fenthroned on ^gthe praises ^{▼▼Or dwelling in the praises} of Israel.
4 In you our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 To you they ⁱcried and were rescued;
in you they ^jtrusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am ^ka worm and not a man,
^lscorned by mankind and ^mdespised by the people.
7 All who see me ⁿmock me;
they make mouths at me; they ^owag their heads;
8 ^p“He trusts in the Lord; let him ^qdeliver him;
let him rescue him, for he ^rdelights in him!”
