Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>; according to <05921> the tune “Morning <07837> Doe <0365>;” a psalm <04210> of David <01732>. My God <0410>, my God <0410>, why <04100> have you abandoned <05800> me? I groan <07581> in prayer <01697>, but help <03444> seems far away <07350>.
2My God <0430>, I cry out <07121> during the day <03119>, but you do not <03808> answer <06030>, and during the night <03915> my prayers <01747> do not <03808> let up.
3You <0859> are holy <06918>; you sit <03427> as king receiving the praises <08416> of Israel <03478>.
4In you our ancestors <01> trusted <0982>; they trusted <0982> in you and you rescued <06403> them.
5To <0413> you they cried out <02199>, and they were saved <04422>; in you they trusted <0982> and they were not <03808> disappointed <0954>.
6But I <0595> am a worm <08438>, not <03808> a man <0120> <0376>; people <05971> insult <02781> me and despise <0959> me.
7All <03605> who see <07200> me taunt <03932> me; they mock <08193> <06362> me and shake <05128> their heads <07218>.
8They say, “Commit <01556> yourself to <0413> the Lord <03068>! Let the Lord rescue <06403> him! Let the Lord deliver <05337> him, for <03588> he delights <02654> in him.”
9Yes <03588>, you <0859> are the one who brought <01518> me out <01518> from the womb <0990> and made <0982> me feel secure <0982> on <05921> my mother’s <0517> breasts <07699>.
10I have been dependent on you since birth <07358>; from <05921> the time I came out <07993> of my mother’s <0517> womb <0990> you <0859> have been my God <0410>.
11Do not <0408> remain far away <07368> from <04480> me, for <03588> trouble <06869> is near <07138> and I have no one <0369> to help <05826> me.
12Many <07227> bulls <06499> surround <05437> me; powerful bulls <047> of Bashan <01316> hem <03803> me in <03803>.
13They open <06475> their mouths <06310> to devour me like a roaring <07580> lion <0738> that rips <02963> its prey.
14My strength drains away <08210> like water <04325>; all <03605> my bones <06106> are dislocated <06504>; my heart <03820> is <01961> like wax <01749>; it melts away <04549> inside <08432> me.
15The roof of my mouth is as dry <03001> as a piece of pottery <02789>; my tongue <03956> sticks <01692> to my gums <04455>. You set <08239> me in the dust <06083> of death <04194>.
16Yes <03588>, wild dogs <03611> surround <05437> me– a gang <05712> of evil <07489> men crowd around <05362> me; like a lion they pin <03738> my hands <03027> and feet <07272>.
17I can count <05608> all <03605> my bones <06106>; my enemies <01992> are gloating over <07200> <05027> me in triumph <07200> <05027>.
18They are dividing <02505> up my clothes <0899> among themselves <01992>; they are rolling <05307> dice <01486> for <05921> my garments <03830>.
19But you <0859>, O Lord <03068>, do not <0408> remain far away <07368>! You are my source of strength <0360>! Hurry <02363> and help <05833> me!
20Deliver <05337> me from the sword <02719>! Save my life <05315> from the claws <03027> of the wild dogs <03611>!
21Rescue <03467> me from the mouth <06310> of the lion <0738>, and from the horns <07161> of the wild oxen <07214>! You have answered <06030> me!
22I will declare <05608> your name <08034> to my countrymen <0251>! In the middle <08432> of the assembly <06951> I will praise <01984> you!
23You loyal followers <03373> of the Lord <03068>, praise <01984> him! All <03605> you descendants <02233> of Jacob <03290>, honor <03513> him! All <03605> you descendants <02233> of Israel <03478>, stand in awe <01481> of <04480> him!
24For <03588> he did not <03808> despise <0959> or <03808> detest <08262> the suffering <06039> of the oppressed <06041>; he did not <03808> ignore <05641> him; when he cried out <07768> to <0413> him, he responded <08085>.
25You are the reason I offer praise <08416> in the great <07227> assembly <06951>; I will fulfill <07999> my promises <05088> before <05048> the Lord’s loyal followers <03373>.
26Let the oppressed <06035> eat <0398> and be filled <07646>! Let those who seek <01875> his help praise <01984> the Lord <03068>! May you <03824> live <02421> forever <05703>!
27Let all <03605> the people of the earth <0776> acknowledge <02142> the Lord <03068> and turn <07725> to <0413> him! Let all <03605> the nations <01471> <04940> worship <07812> you!
28For <03588> the Lord <03068> is king <04410> and rules <04910> over the nations <01471>.
29All <03605> of the thriving <01879> people of the earth <0776> will join the celebration <0398> and worship <07812>; all <03605> those who are descending <03381> into the grave <06083> will bow <03766> before <06440> him, including those who cannot <03808> preserve <02421> their lives <05315>.
30A whole generation <02233> will serve <05647> him; they will tell <05608> the next generation <01755> about the sovereign Lord <0136>.
31They will come <0935> and tell <05046> about his saving deeds <06666>; they will tell a future <03205> generation <05971> what <03588> he has accomplished <06213>.
