¹ [(0)] For the leader. Set to “Sunrise.” A psalm of David:

² [(1)] My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me? Why so far from helping me, so far from my anguished cries?

³ [(2)] My God, by day I call to you, but you don’t answer; likewise at night, but I get no relief.

⁴ [(3)] Nevertheless, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Isra’el.

⁵ [(4)] In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted, and you rescued them.

⁶ [(5)] They cried to you and escaped; they trusted in you and were not disappointed.

⁷ [(6)] But I am a worm, not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.

⁸ [(7)] All who see me jeer at me; they sneer and shake their heads:

⁹ [(8)] “He committed himself to ADONAI, so let him rescue him! Let him set him free if he takes such delight in him!”

¹⁰ [(9)] But you are the one who took me from the womb, you made me trust when I was on my mother’s breasts.

¹¹ [(10)] Since my birth I’ve been thrown on you; you are my God from my mother’s womb.

¹² [(11)] Don’t stay far from me, for trouble is near; and there is no one to help.

¹³ [(12)] Many bulls surround me, wild bulls of Bashan close in on me.

¹⁴ [(13)] They open their mouths wide against me, like ravening, roaring lions.

¹⁵ [(14)] I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; my heart has become like wax — it melts inside me;

¹⁶ [(15)] my mouth is as dry as a fragment of a pot, my tongue sticks to my palate; you lay me down in the dust of death.

¹⁷ [(16)] Dogs are all around me, a pack of villains closes in on me like a lion [at] my hands and feet. [1]

¹⁸ [(17)] I can count every one of my bones, while they gaze at me and gloat.

¹⁹ [(18)] They divide my garments among themselves; for my clothing they throw dice.

²⁰ [(19)] But you, ADONAI, don’t stay far away! My strength, come quickly to help me!

²¹ [(20)] Rescue me from the sword, my life from the power of the dogs.

²² [(21)] Save me from the lion’s mouth! You have answered me from the wild bulls’ horns.

²³ [(22)] I will proclaim your name to my kinsmen; right there in the assembly I will praise you:

²⁴ [(23)] “You who fear ADONAI, praise him! All descendants of Ya‘akov, glorify him! All descendants of Isra’el, stand in awe of him!

²⁵ [(24)] For he has not despised or abhorred the poverty of the poor; he did not hide his face from him but listened to his cry.”

²⁶ [(25)] Because of you I give praise in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows in the sight of those who fear him.

²⁷ [(26)] The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek ADONAI will praise him; Your hearts will enjoy life forever.

²⁸ [(27)] All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to ADONAI; all the clans of the nations will worship in your presence.

²⁹ [(28)] For the kingdom belongs to ADONAI, and he rules the nations.

³⁰ [(29)] All who prosper on the earth will eat and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him, including him who can’t keep himself alive,

³¹ [(30)] A descendant will serve him; the next generation will be told of Adonai.

³² [(31)] They will come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he is the one who did it.
