Psalms 22:1-11

The Cry of Abandonment

Psalms 22:1-11
1
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?
2
I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.
3
Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4
In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.
5
They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.
6
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
7
All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:
8
“He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”
9
Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
10
From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
11
Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
