MY God, my God, wherefore hast thou forsaken me? & why, art thou so far from helping me, from the words of my cry? verse 2 O my God, I do cry by day, but me thou dost not hear; and eke by night, & unto me no quiet rest is there. verse 3 Nevertheless thou holy art, who constantly dost dwell, within the thankful praises of thy people Israel. verse 4 Our fore-fathers in thee have put assured confidence: they trusted have, & thou to them didst give deliverance. verse 5 Unto thee they did cry aloud, and were delivered: in thee they put their confidence, and were not confounded. verse 6 But I a worm, & not a man; of men an opprobrie, and also of the people am despised contemptuously. verse 7 All they that do upon me look, a scoff at me do make: they with the lip do make a mow, the head in scorn they shake. ⟨image ?⟩verse 8 Upon the Lord he rolled himself, let him now rid him quite: let him deliver him, because in him he doth delight. verse 9 But thou art he that me out of the belly forth didst take: when I was on my mothers breasts, to hope thou didst me make. verse 10 Unto thee from the tender-womb committed been have I: yea thou hast been my mighty-God from my mothers belly.
