MY God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?  why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014726">2</a>. O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014727">3</a>. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014728">4</a>. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014729">5</a>. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014730">6</a>. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014731">7</a>. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014732">8</a>. He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014733">9</a>. But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014734">10</a>. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014735">11</a>. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014736">12</a>. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014737">13</a>. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014738">14</a>. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014739">15</a>. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014740">16</a>. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014741">17</a>. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014742">18</a>. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014743">19</a>. But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014744">20</a>. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014745">21</a>. Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014746">22</a>. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014747">23</a>. Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014748">24</a>. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014749">25</a>. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014750">26</a>. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014751">27</a>. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014752">28</a>. For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014753">29</a>. All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014754">30</a>. A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014755">31</a>. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.</li>
