International Standard Version

1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?

1My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far from delivering me— from my groaning words?

2I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.

2My God, I cry out to you throughout the day, but you do not answer; and throughout the night, but I have no rest.

3Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

3You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

4In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.

4Our ancestors trusted in you; they trusted and you delivered them.

5They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.

5They cried out to you and escaped; they trusted in you and were not put to shame.

6But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.

6But as for me, I am only a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by people.

7All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:

7Everyone who sees me mocks me; they gape at me with open mouths and shake their heads at me.

8“He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”

8They say, "Commit yourself to the LORD; perhaps the LORD will deliver him, perhaps he will cause him to escape, since he delights in him."

9Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.

9Yet, you are the one who took me from the womb, and kept me safe on my mother's breasts.

10From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.

10I was dependent on you from birth; from my mother's womb you have been my God.

11Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.

11Do not be so distant from me, for trouble is at hand; indeed, there is no deliverer.

12Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

12Many bulls have surrounded me; the vicious bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

13They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.

13Their mouths are opened wide toward me, like roaring and attacking lions.

14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.

14I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax, melting within me.

15My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.

15My strength is dried up like broken pottery; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth, and you have brought me down to the dust of death.

16For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.

16For dogs have surrounded me; a gang of those who practice of evil has encircled me. They gouged my hands and my feet.

17I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.

17I can count all my bones. They look at me; they stare at me.

18They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.

18They divide my clothing among themselves; they cast lots for my clothing!

19But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

19But as for you, LORD, do not be far away from me; My Strength, come quickly to help me.

20Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.

20Deliver me from the sword; my precious life from the power of the dog.

21Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!

21Deliver me from the mouth of the lion, from the horns of the wild oxen. You have answered me.

22I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.

22I will declare your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation, I will praise you, saying,

23You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!

23"All who fear the LORD, praise him! All the seed of Jacob, glorify him! All the seed of Israel, fear him!

24For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.

24For he does not despise nor detest the afflicted person; he does not hide his face from him, but he hears him when he cries out to him."

25My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.

25My praise in the great congregation is because of you; I will pay my vows before those who fear you.

26The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!

26The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise him, "May you live forever!"

27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.

27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD; all the families of the nations will bow in submission to the LORD.

28For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.

29All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him—even those unable to preserve their lives.

29All the prosperous people will eat and bow down in submission. All those who are about to go down to the grave will bow down in submission, along with the one who can no longer keep himself alive.

30Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.

30Our descendants will serve him, and that generation will be told about the Lord.

31They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn—all that He has done.

31They will come and declare his righteousness to a people yet to be born; indeed, he has accomplished it!
