Good Friday - My God, My God Why Have You Forsaken Me. - Psalm 22: 1-18
A Cry of Anguish and a Song of Praise.
For the music director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Far from my help are the words of my groaning.
My God, I cry out by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but I have no rest.
Yet You are holy,
You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
In You our fathers trusted;
They trusted and You rescued them.
To You they cried out and they fled to safety;
In You they trusted and were not disappointed.
But I am a worm and not a person,
A disgrace of mankind and despised by the people.
All who see me deride me;
They sneer, they shake their heads, saying,
“Turn him over to the Lord; let Him save him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”
Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.
I was cast upon You from birth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.
Do not be far from me, for trouble is near;
For there is no one to help.
Many bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
They open their mouths wide at me,
As a ravening and roaring lion.
I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.
My strength is dried up like a piece of pottery,
And my tongue clings to my jaws;
And You lay me in the dust of death.
For dogs have surrounded me;
A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
They pierced my hands and my feet.
I can count all my bones.
They look, they stare at me;
They divide my garments among them,
And they cast lots for my clothing.
