## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
## For the music director, according to the tune “Morning Doe”; a psalm of David.
[[#Verse 01.]]Â My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
I groan in prayer, but help seems far away.
[[#Verse 02.]]Â My God, I cry out during the day,
but you do not answer,
and during the night my prayers do not let up.
[[#Verse 03.]]Â You are holy;
you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel.
[[#Verse 04.]] In you our ancestors trusted;
they trusted in you and you rescued them.
[[#Verse 05.]]Â To you they cried out, and they were saved;
in you they trusted and they were not disappointed.
[[#Verse 06.]] But I am a worm, not a man;
people insult me and despise me.
[[#Verse 07.]] All who see me taunt me;
they mock me and shake their heads.
[[#Verse 08.]]Â They say,
“Commit yourself to the Lord!
Let the Lord rescue him!
Let the Lord deliver him, for he delights in him.”
[[#Verse 09.]] Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womb
and made me feel secure on my mother’s breasts.
[[#Verse 10.]]Â I have been dependent on you since birth;
from the time I came out of my mother’s womb you have been my God.
[[#Verse 11.]]Â Do not remain far away from me,
for trouble is near and I have no one to help me.
[[#Verse 12.]] Many bulls surround me;
powerful bulls of Bashan hem me in.
[[#Verse 13.]] They open their mouths to devour me
like a roaring lion that rips its prey.
[[#Verse 14.]]Â My strength drains away like water;
all my bones are dislocated.
My heart is like wax;
it melts away inside me.
[[#Verse 15.]] The roof of my mouth is as dry as a piece of pottery;
my tongue sticks to my gums.
You set me in the dust of death.
[[#Verse 16.]] Yes, wild dogs surround me—
a gang of evil men crowd around me;
like a lion they pin my hands and feet.
[[#Verse 17.]] I can count all my bones;
my enemies are gloating over me in triumph.
[[#Verse 18.]]Â They are dividing up my clothes among themselves;
they are rolling dice for my garments.
[[#Verse 19.]]Â But you, OÂ Lord, do not remain far away.
You are my source of strength. Hurry and help me!
[[#Verse 20.]] Deliver me from the sword.
Save my life from the claws of the wild dogs.
[[#Verse 21.]]Â Rescue me from the mouth of the lion,
and from the horns of the wild oxen.
You have answered me.
[[#Verse 22.]]Â I will declare your name to my countrymen.
In the middle of the assembly I will praise you.
[[#Verse 23.]] You loyal followers of the Lord, praise him.
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him.
All you descendants of Israel, stand in awe of him.
[[#Verse 24.]] For he did not despise or detest the suffering of the oppressed.
He did not ignore him;
when he cried out to him, he responded.
[[#Verse 25.]] You are the reason I offer praise in the great assembly;
I will fulfill my promises before the Lord’s loyal followers.
[[#Verse 26.]]Â Let the oppressed eat and be filled.
Let those who seek his help praise the Lord.
May you live forever!
[[#Verse 27.]] Let all the people of the earth acknowledge the Lord and turn to him.
Let all the nations worship you.
[[#Verse 28.]] For the Lord is king
and rules over the nations.
[[#Verse 29.]] All the thriving people of the earth will join the celebration and worship;
all those who are descending into the grave will bow before him,
including those who cannot preserve their lives.
[[#Verse 30.]] A whole generation will serve him;
they will tell the next generation about the Lord.
[[#Verse 31.]]Â They will come and tell about his saving deeds;
they will tell a future generation what he has accomplished.
