1. My God, my God, why have you rejected me? You seem far from saving me, far from the words of my groaning.
|
1. To the chief Musician H5329 upon H5921 Aijeleth H365 Shahar H7837 , A Psalm H4210 of David H1732 . My God H410 , my God H410 , why H4100 hast thou forsaken H5800 me? why art thou so far H7350 from helping H4480 H3444 me, and from the words H1697 of my roaring H7581 ?
|
|
2. My God, I call to you during the day, but you do not answer. I call at night; I am not silent.
|
2. O my God H430 , I cry H7121 in the daytime H3119 , but thou hearest H6030 not H3808 ; and in the night season H3915 , and am not H3808 silent H1747 .
|
|
3. You sit as the Holy One. The praises of Israel are your throne.
|
3. But thou H859 art holy H6918 , O thou that inhabitest H3427 the praises H8416 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
4. Our ancestors trusted you; they trusted, and you saved them.
|
4. Our fathers H1 trusted H982 in thee : they trusted H982 , and thou didst deliver H6403 them.
|
|
5. They called to you for help and were rescued. They trusted you and were not disappointed.
|
5. They cried H2199 unto H413 thee , and were delivered H4422 : they trusted H982 in thee , and were not H3808 confounded H954 .
|
|
6. But I am like a worm instead of a man. People make fun of me and hate me.
|
6. But I H595 am a worm H8438 , and no H3808 man H376 ; a reproach H2781 of men H120 , and despised H959 of the people H5971 .
|
|
7. Those who look at me laugh. They stick out their tongues and shake their heads.
|
7. All H3605 they that see H7200 me laugh H3932 me to scorn : they shoot out H6362 the lip H8193 , they shake H5128 the head H7218 , saying ,
|
|
8. They say, "Turn to the Lord for help. Maybe he will save you. If he likes you, maybe he will rescue you."
|
8. He trusted H1556 on H413 the LORD H3068 that he would deliver H6403 him : let him deliver H5337 him, seeing H3588 he delighted H2654 in him.
|
|
9. You had my mother give birth to me. You made me trust you while I was just a baby.
|
9. But H3588 thou H859 art he that took H1518 me out of the womb H4480 H990 : thou didst make me hope H982 when I was upon H5921 my mother H517 's breasts H7699 .
|
|
10. I have leaned on you since the day I was born; you have been my God since my mother gave me birth.
|
10. I was cast H7993 upon H5921 thee from the womb H4480 H7358 : thou H859 art my God H410 from my mother H517 's belly H4480 H990 .
|
|
11. So don't be far away from me. Now trouble is near, and there is no one to help.
|
11. Be not H408 far H7368 from H4480 me; for H3588 trouble H6869 is near H7138 ; for H3588 there is none H369 to help H5826 .
|
|
12. People have surrounded me like angry bulls. Like the strong bulls of Bashan, they are on every side.
|
12. Many H7227 bulls H6499 have compassed H5437 me: strong H47 bulls of Bashan H1316 have beset me round H3803 .
|
|
13. Like hungry, roaring lions they open their mouths at me.
|
13. They gaped H6475 upon H5921 me with their mouths H6310 , as a ravening H2963 and a roaring H7580 lion H738 .
|
|
14. My strength is gone, like water poured out onto the ground, and my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it has melted inside me.
|
14. I am poured out H8210 like water H4325 , and all H3605 my bones H6106 are out of joint H6504 : my heart H3820 is H1961 like wax H1749 ; it is melted H4549 in the midst H8432 of my bowels H4578 .
|
|
15. My strength has dried up like a clay pot, and my tongue sticks to the top of my mouth. You laid me in the dust of death.
|
15. My strength H3581 is dried up H3001 like a potsherd H2789 ; and my tongue H3956 cleaveth H1692 to my jaws H4455 ; and thou hast brought H8239 me into the dust H6083 of death H4194 .
|
|
16. Evil people have surrounded me; like dogs they have trapped me. They have bitten my arms and legs.
|
16. For H3588 dogs H3611 have compassed H5437 me : the assembly H5712 of the wicked H7489 have enclosed H5362 me : they pierced H738 my hands H3027 and my feet H7272 .
|
|
17. I can count all my bones; people look and stare at me.
|
17. I may tell H5608 all H3605 my bones H6106 : they H1992 look H5027 and stare H7200 upon me.
|
|
18. They divided my clothes among them, and they threw lots for my clothing.
|
18. They part H2505 my garments H899 among them , and cast H5307 lots H1486 upon H5921 my vesture H3830 .
|
|
19. But, Lord, don't be far away. You are my strength; hurry to help me.
|
19. But be not H408 thou H859 far H7368 from me , O LORD H3068 : O my strength H360 , haste H2363 thee to help H5833 me.
|
|
20. Save me from the sword; save my life from the dogs.
|
20. Deliver H5337 my soul H5315 from the sword H4480 H2719 ; my darling H3173 from the power H4480 H3027 of the dog H3611 .
|
|
21. Rescue me from the lion's mouth; save me from the horns of the bulls.
|
21. Save H3467 me from the lion H738 's mouth H4480 H6310 : for thou hast heard H6030 me from the horns H4480 H7161 of the unicorns H7214 .
|
|
22. Then I will tell my fellow Israelites about you; I will praise you in the public meeting.
|
22. I will declare H5608 thy name H8034 unto my brethren H251 : in the midst H8432 of the congregation H6951 will I praise H1984 thee.
|
|
23. Praise the Lord, all you who respect him. All you descendants of Jacob, honor him; fear him, all you Israelites.
|
23. Ye that fear H3373 the LORD H3068 , praise H1984 him; all H3605 ye the seed H2233 of Jacob H3290 , glorify H3513 him ; and fear H1481 H4480 him, all H3605 ye the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
24. He does not ignore those in trouble. He doesn't hide from them but listens when they call out to him.
|
24. For H3588 he hath not H3808 despised H959 nor H3808 abhorred H8262 the affliction H6039 of the afflicted H6041 ; neither H3808 hath he hid H5641 his face H6440 from H4480 him ; but when he cried H7768 unto H413 him , he heard H8085 .
|
|
25. Lord, I praise you in the great meeting of your people; these worshipers will see me do what I promised.
|
25. My praise H8416 shall be of H4480 H854 thee in the great H7227 congregation H6951 : I will pay H7999 my vows H5088 before H5048 them that fear H3373 him.
|
|
26. Poor people will eat until they are full; those who look to the Lord will praise him. May your hearts live forever!
|
26. The meek H6035 shall eat H398 and be satisfied H7646 : they shall praise H1984 the LORD H3068 that seek H1875 him : your heart H3824 shall live H2421 forever H5703 .
|
|
27. People everywhere will remember and will turn to the Lord. All the families of the nations will worship him
|
27. All H3605 the ends H657 of the world H776 shall remember H2142 and turn H7725 unto H413 the LORD H3068 : and all H3605 the kindreds H4940 of the nations H1471 shall worship H7812 before H6440 thee.
|
|
28. because the Lord is King, and he rules the nations.
|
28. For H3588 the kingdom H4410 is the LORD H3068 's : and he is the governor H4910 among the nations H1471 .

29. All the powerful people on earth will eat and worship. Everyone will bow down to him, all who will one day die.
|
29. All H3605 they that be fat H1879 upon earth H776 shall eat H398 and worship H7812 : all H3605 they that go down H3381 to the dust H6083 shall bow H3766 before H6440 him : and none H3808 can keep alive H2421 his own soul H5315 .
|
|
30. The people in the future will serve him; they will always be told about the Lord.
