Psalm 22:1-6

For the choir director. According to ¹Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.

^aMy God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

²^bFar from my salvation are the words of my ³^cgroaning.

O my God, I ^acall by day, but You do not answer;

And by night, but ¹I have no rest.

Yet ^aYou are holy,

¹Enthroned upon ^bthe praises of Israel.

In You our fathers ^atrusted;

They trusted and You ^brescued them.

To You they cried out and were granted escape;

^aIn You they trusted and were not ¹disappointed.

But I am a ^aworm and not a man,

A ^breproach of men and ^cdespised by the people.
