Psalms 22:1-8

1My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

2O my God, I call out by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I find no rest nor quiet.

3But You are holy, O You who are enthroned in [the holy place where] the praises of Israel [are offered].

4In You our fathers trusted [leaned on, relied on, and were confident]; They trusted and You rescued them.

5They cried out to You and were delivered; They trusted in You and were not disappointed or ashamed.

6But I am [treated as] a worm [insignificant and powerless] and not a man; I am the scorn of men and despised by the people.

7All who see me laugh at me and mock me; They [insultingly] open their lips, they shake their head, saying,

8“He trusted and committed himself to the Lord, let Him save him. Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”
