Context of Psalms 22:4
2My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Distant from my salvation are the words of my groaning. 3O my God, I cried out by day, but You did not answer, by night, but there was no rest for me. Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. 5In You our fathers put their trust. They trusted, and You delivered them. 6They cried to you and were delivered. In You they trusted, and were not disappointed.
