1 - To the Overseer, on `The Hind of the Morning.' --A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?

2 - My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.

3 - And Thou <FI>art<Fi> holy, Sitting--the Praise of Israel.

4 - In Thee did our fathers trust--they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.

5 - Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.

6 - And I <FI>am<Fi> a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.

7 - All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip--shake the head,

8 - `Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.'

9 - For thou <FI>art<Fi> He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.

10 - On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou <FI>art<Fi> my God.

11 - Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.

12 - Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,

13 - They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.

14 - As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15 - Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.

16 - And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.

17 - I count all my bones--they look expectingly, They look upon me,

18 - They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.

19 - And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.

20 - Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.

21 - Save me from the mouth of a lion: --And--from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!

22 - I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.

23 - Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.

24 - For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.

25 - Of Thee my praise <FI>is<Fi> in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.

26 - The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.

27 - Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,

28 - For to Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.

29 - And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he <FI>who<Fi> hath not revived his soul.

30 - A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.

31 - They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!
