The Cry of Abandonment

Psalms 22:1-11
1
For the leader. Set to "Sunrise."A psalm of David: My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me? Why so far from helping me, so far from my anguished cries?
2
My God, by day I call to you, but you don't answer; likewise at night, but I get no relief.
3
Nevertheless, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Isra'el.
4
In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted, and you rescued them.
5
They cried to you and escaped; they trusted in you and were not disappointed.
6
But I am a worm, not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
7
All who see me jeer at me; they sneer and shake their heads:
8
"He committed himself to ADONAI, so let him rescue him! Let him set him free if he takes such delight in him!"
9
But you are the one who took me from the womb, you made me trust when I was on my mother's breasts.
10
Since my birth I've been thrown on you; you are my God from my mother's womb.
11
Don't stay far from me, for trouble is near; and there is no one to help.
