1For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David. 2O God, my God, attend to me: why hast thou forsaken me? the account of my transgressions is far from my salvation. 3O my God, I will cry to thee by day, but thou wilt not hear: and by night, and [it shall] not [be accounted] for folly to me. 4But thou, the praise of Israel, dwellest in a sanctuary. 5Our fathers hoped in thee; they hoped, and thou didst deliver them. 6They cried to thee, and were saved: they hoped in thee, and were not ashamed. 7But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people. 8All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying], 9He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him. 10For thou art he that drew me out of the womb; my hope from my mother's breasts. 11I was cast on thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. 12Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near; for there is no helper. 13Many bullocks have compassed me: fat bulls have beset me round. 14They have opened their mouth against me, as a ravening and roaring lion. 15I am poured out like water, and all my bones are loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax. 16My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue is glued to my throat; and thou hast brought me down to the dust of death. 17For many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: they pierced my hands and my feet. 18They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me. 19They parted my garments [among] themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment. 20But thou, O Lord, remove not my help afar off: be ready for mine aid. 21Deliver my soul from the sword; my only-begotten one from the power of the dog. 22Save me from the lion's mouth; and [regard] my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns. 23I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I sing praise to thee. 24Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye seed of Jacob, glorify him: let all the seed of Israel fear him. 25For he has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor; nor turned away his face from me; but when I cried to him, he heard me. 26My praise is of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 27The poor shall eat and be satisfied; and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their heart shall live for ever. 28All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before him. 29For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he is the governor of the nations. 30All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshipped: all that go down to the earth shall fall down before him: my soul also lives to him. 31And my seed shall serve him: the generation that is coming shall be reported to the Lord. 32And they shall report his righteousness to the people that shall be born, whom the Lord has made.
