Psalms 22:1

The Suffering, Praise, and Posterity of the Messiah

To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Deer of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David.

1 My ^aGod, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Why are You so far from helping Me,
And from the words of My groaning?

2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;
And in the night season, and am not silent.

3 But You are holy,
Enthroned in the ^apraises of Israel.

4 Our fathers trusted in You;
They trusted, and You delivered them.

5 They cried to You, and were delivered;
^aThey trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

6 But I am ^aa worm, and no man;
^bA reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7 ^aAll those who see Me ridicule Me;
They¹ shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8 “He¹^a trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;
^bLet Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”

9 ^aBut You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.

10 I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
^aYou have been My God.

11 Be not far from Me,
For trouble is near;
For there is none to help.

12 ^aMany bulls have surrounded Me;
Strong bulls of ^bBashan have encircled Me.

13 ^aThey¹ gape at Me with their mouths,
Like a raging and roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water,
^aAnd all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted¹ within Me.

15 ^aMy strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And ^bMy tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.
