^1 (0) For the leader. Set to "Sunrise." A psalm of David:

^2 (1) My God! My God!
Why have you abandoned me?
Why so far from helping me,
so far from my anguished cries?

^3 (2) My God, by day I call to you,
but you don't answer;
likewise at night,
but I get no relief.
^4 (3) Nevertheless, you are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Isra'el.
^5 (4) In you our ancestors put their trust;
they trusted, and you rescued them.
^6 (5) They cried to you and escaped;
they trusted in you and were not disappointed.

^7 (6) But I am a worm, not a man,
scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
^8 (7) All who see me jeer at me;
they sneer and shake their heads:
^9 (8) "He committed himself to Adonai,
so let him rescue him!
Let him set him free
if he takes such delight in him!"

^10 (9) But you are the one who took me from the womb,
you made me trust when I was on my mother's breasts.
^11 (10) Since my birth I've been thrown on you;
you are my God from my mother's womb.
^12 (11) Don't stay far from me, for trouble is near;
and there is no one to help.
^13 (12) Many bulls surround me,
wild bulls of Bashan close in on me.
^14 (13) They open their mouths wide against me,
like ravening, roaring lions.
^15 (14) I am poured out like water;
all my bones are out of joint;
my heart has become like wax —
it melts inside me;
^16 (15) my mouth is as dry as a fragment of a pot,
my tongue sticks to my palate;
you lay me down in the dust of death.
^17 (16) Dogs are all around me,
a pack of villains closes in on me
like a lion [at] my hands and feet.^[a]

^18 (17) I can count every one of my bones,
while they gaze at me and gloat.
^19 (18) They divide my garments among themselves;
for my clothing they throw dice.

^20 (19) But you, Adonai, don't stay far away!
My strength, come quickly to help me!
^21 (20) Rescue me from the sword,
my life from the power of the dogs.
^22 (21) Save me from the lion's mouth!

You have answered me from the wild bulls' horns.
^23 (22) I will proclaim your name to my kinsmen;
right there in the assembly I will praise you:
^24 (23) "You who fear Adonai, praise him!
All descendants of Ya‘akov, glorify him!
All descendants of Isra'el, stand in awe of him!
^25 (24) For he has not despised or abhorred
the poverty of the poor;
he did not hide his face from him
but listened to his cry."

^26 (25) Because of you
I give praise in the great assembly;
I will fulfill my vows
in the sight of those who fear him.
^27 (26) The poor will eat and be satisfied;
those who seek Adonai will praise him;
Your hearts will enjoy life forever.
^28 (27) All the ends of the earth
will remember and turn to Adonai;
all the clans of the nations
will worship in your presence.
^29 (28) For the kingdom belongs to Adonai,
and he rules the nations.

^30 (29) All who prosper on the earth
will eat and worship;
all who go down to the dust
will kneel before him,
including him who can't keep himself alive,
^31 (30) A descendant will serve him;
the next generation will be told of Adonai.
^32 (31) They will come and proclaim
his righteousness
to a people yet unborn,
that he is the one who did it.
