Psalms 22
Intro: David prayeth in great distress, yet he praiseth God. (To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.)
1 My God, why hast thou forsaken me? My God, hear the words of my roaring; thou art far from helping me.
2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But thou art holy that inhabitest the heavens; thou art worthy of the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee; they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6 But I, a worm, am loved of no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him; let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
