* My God , my God , why have you forsaken me ? why are you so far from helping me , and from the words of my roaring ? * O my God , I cry in the day time , but you hear not ; and in the night season , and am not silent . * But you are holy , O you that inhabit the praises of Israel . * Our fathers trusted in you : they trusted , and you did deliver them . * They cried unto you , and were delivered : they trusted in you , and were not confounded . * But I am a worm , and no man ; a reproach of men , and despised of the people . * All they that see me laugh me to scorn : they shoot out the lip , they shake the head , saying , * He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him : let him deliver him , seeing he delighted in him . * But you are he that took me out of the womb : you did make me hope when I was upon my mother 's breasts . * I was cast upon you from the womb : you are my God from my mother 's belly . * Be not far from me ; for trouble is near ; for there is none to help . * Many bulls have compassed me : strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round . * They gaped upon me with their mouths , as a ravening and a roaring lion . * I am poured out like water , and all my bones are out of joint : my heart is like wax ; it is melted in the midst of my bowels . * My strength is dried up like a potsherd ; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws ; and you have brought me into the dust of death . * For dogs have compassed me : the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me : they pierced my hands and my feet . * I may tell all my bones : they look and stare upon me . * They part my garments among them , and cast lots upon my vesture . * But be not you far from me , O LORD : O my strength , haste you to help me . * Deliver my soul from the sword ; my darling from the power of the dog . * Save me from the lion 's mouth : for you have heard me from the horns of the unicorns . * I will declare your name unto my brethren : in the midst of the congregation will I praise you . * All of you that fear the LORD , praise him ; all you the seed of Jacob , glorify him ; and fear him , all you the seed of Israel . * For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted ; neither has he hid his face from him ; but when he cried unto him , he heard . * My praise shall be of you in the great congregation : I will pay my vows before them that fear him . * The meek shall eat and be satisfied : they shall praise the LORD that seek him : your heart shall live for ever . * All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD : and all the families of the nations shall worship before you . * For the kingdom is the LORD 's : and he is the governor among the nations . * All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship : all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him : and none can keep alive his own soul . * A seed shall serve him ; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation . * They shall come , and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born , that he has done this .
