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.
6 People treat me like a worm and not a man. They hate me and look down on me.
7 All those who see me laugh at me. They shout at me and make fun of me. They shake their heads at me.
8 They say, "He trusts in the Lord. Let the Lord help him. If the Lord is pleased with him, let him save him."
