1 My God, my God, why have you deserted me? Why do you seem to be so far away when I need you to save me? Why do you seem to be so far away that you can't hear my groans?
2 My God, I cry out in the daytime. But you don't answer. I cry out at night. I can't keep quiet.
3 But you rule from your throne as the Holy One. You are the God Israel praises.
4 Our people of long ago put their trust in you. They trusted in you, and you saved them.
5 They cried out to you and were saved. They trusted in you, and you didn't let them down.
