1 Dauid complaineth in great discouragement. 9 Hee prayeth in great distresse. 23 Hee praiseth God.

¶ [fn][fn]To the chiefe Musician vpon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalme of Dauid.

XXII ¶ My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 2 [fn]O my God, I crie in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel! 4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliuer them. 5 They cryed vnto thee, and were deliuered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 6 But I am a worme, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 7 [fn][fn]All they that see me, laugh me to scorne: they shoote out the lippe, they shake the head, saying, 8 [fn][fn][fn]He trusted on the LORD, that he would deliuer him: let him deliuer him, seeing he delighted in him. 9 [fn]But thou art hee that tooke mee out of the wombe; thou didst make me hope, when I was vpon my mothers breasts. 10 I was cast vpon thee from the wombe: thou art my God from my mothers belly. 11 [fn]Be not farre from me, for trouble is neere; for there is none to helpe. 12 Many bulles haue compassed me: strong bulles of Bashan haue beset me round. 13 [fn]They gaped vpon me with their mouthes, as a rauening and a roaring Lyon. 14 [fn]I am powred out like water, and all my bones are out of ioynt: my heart is like waxe, it is melted in the middest of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried vp like a potsheard: and my tongue cleaueth to my iawes; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16 [fn]For dogges haue compassed me: the assembly of the wicked haue inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feete. 17 I may tell all my bones: they looke and stare vpon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots vpon my vesture. 19 But be not thou farre from mee, O LORD; O my strength, hast thee to helpe me. 20 [fn][fn]Deliuer my soule from the sword: my darling from the power of the dogge. 21 Saue me from the lyons mouth: for thou hast heard me from the hornes of the vnicornes. 22 [fn]I will declare thy name vnto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. 23 Yee that feare the LORD, praise him; all yee the seede of Iacob glorifie him, and feare him all yee the seede of Israel. 24 For he hath not despised, nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he cried vnto him, he heard. 25 My praise shalbe of thee, in the great congregation: I will pay my vowes, before them that feare him. 26 The meeke shall eate and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seeke him; your heart shall liue for euer. 27 [fn]All the ends of the world shall remember, and turne vnto the LORD: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before thee. 28 For the kingdome is the LORDs: and he is the gouernour among the nations. 29 All they that be fat vpon earth shall eate and worship: all they that goe downe to the dust shall bow before him, and none can keepe aliue his owne soule. 30 A seed shall serue him; it shalbe accounted to the LORD for a generation. 31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnes vnto a people that shalbe borne, that he hath done this.
