1 My God, my God, why have you left me? You seem too far away to save me, too far to hear my cries for help!
2 My God, I kept calling by day, and I was not silent at night. But you did not answer me.
3 God, you are the Holy One. You sit as King upon the praises of Israel.
4 Our ancestors trusted you. Yes, they trusted you, and you saved them.
5 They called to you for help and escaped their enemies. They trusted you and were not disappointed!
6 But I feel like a worm, less than human! People insult me and look down on me.
7 Everyone who sees me makes fun of me. They shake their heads and stick out their tongues at me.
