Psalms 22:1-8

1My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?

2My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.

3Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises.

4In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them.

5To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame.

6But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.

7All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads.

8“He trusts in the Lord,” they say, “let the Lord rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.”
