PSAL. XXII To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David.
MY God, my God, wherefore hast thou forsaken me? and why ⟨p. 63⟩Art thou so far off from my help, and from words of my cry? verse 2 My God, I in the day time cry, but me thou dost not hear; Also by night, and unto me no quiet rest is there.
verse 3 Nevertheless thou holy art, who constantly dost dwell Among the thankful praises of thy people Israel▪ verse 4 Our fathers heretofore in thee have put their confidence: They trusted have, and thou to them didst give deliverance.
verse 5 They unto thee did cry aloud, and were preserved sound. In thee they put their confidence, and nought did them confound. verse 6 * But I a worm and not a man, of men a very scorn: And I among the people am despised as forlorn.
