Context of Psalms 22:3
1My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? I groan in prayer, but help seems far away. 2My God, I cry out during the day, but you do not answer, and during the night my prayers do not let up. You are holy; you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel. 4In you our ancestors trusted; they trusted in you and you rescued them. 5To you they cried out, and they were saved; in you they trusted and they were not disappointed.
