Psalms 22:1-8

1My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?12

2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.3

3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

4Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

7All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,4

8He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.56
