My
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me,
and from the words of my roaring?
Matt 27:46
Mark 15:34
|
|
2 | O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the
night season, and am not silent. |
| 3
| But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. |
| 4 | Our fathers trusted in
thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. |
|
5 | They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted
in thee, and were not confounded. |
|
6 | But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of
the people.
Matt 8:20
John 1:10,11
|
| 7 | All they
that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head,
saying, |
| 8 | He trusted on
the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in
him. |
| 9 | But thou art he
that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my
mother's breasts. |
| 10 | I
was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. |
| 11 | Be not far from me; for
trouble is near; for there is none to help. |
| 12 | Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan
have beset me round. |
| 13 |
They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. |
| 14 | 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. |
| 15 |
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. |
|
16 | For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the
wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
Zech 12:10
John 19:37
|
| 17 | I may tell all my bones: they look and
stare upon me. |
| 18 |
They
part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
Matt 27:35
John 19:24
|
| 19 | But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O
my strength, haste thee to help me. |
|
20 | Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the
dog. |
| 21 | Save me from the
lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. |
| 22 |
I will declare thy name unto
my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Heb 2:12
|
| 23 | Ye that fear the LORD, praise him;
all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of
Israel. |
| 24 | For he hath
not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the 1afflicted; neither hath he hid
his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

Isa 61:1
Matt 11:5
Luke 4:18
James 2:5
|
| 25 | My praise shall be of thee in the
great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. |
| 26 | The meek shall eat and be
satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for
ever. |
| 27 | All the ends of
the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the
nations shall worship before thee. |
|
28 | For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the
nations. |
| 29 | 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. |
| 30 | A seed shall serve him; it shall be
accounted to the Lord for a generation. |
| 31 | They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness
unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. |
