22 Dios ko, Dios ko, bakit mo ako pinabayaan? Bakit ka napaka layo sa pagtulong sa akin, at sa mga salita ng aking pagangal?

Oh Dios ko, ako'y humihiyaw sa araw, nguni't hindi ka sumasagot: at sa gabi, at hindi ako tahimik.

Nguni't ikaw ay banal, Oh ikaw na tumatahan sa mga pagpuri ng Israel.

Ang aming mga magulang ay nagsitiwala sa iyo: sila'y nagsitiwala, at iyong iniligtas sila.

Sila'y nagsidaing sa iyo at nangaligtas: sila'y nagsitiwala sa iyo, at hindi nangapahiya.

Nguni't ako'y uod at hindi tao; duwahagi sa mga tao, at hinamak ng bayan.

Silang lahat na nangakakita sa akin ay tinatawanang mainam ako: inilalawit nila ang labi, iginagalaw nila ang ulo, na sinasabi,

Magpakatiwala ka sa Panginoon; iligtas niya siya: iligtas niya siya yamang kinaluluguran niya siya:

Nguni't ikaw ang naglabas sa akin sa bahay-bata: Pinatiwala mo ako nang ako'y nasa mga suso ng aking ina.

10 Ako'y nahagis sa iyo mula sa bahay-bata: ikaw ay aking Dios mulang dalhin ako sa tiyan ng aking ina.

11 Huwag mo akong layuan; sapagka't kabagabagan ay malapit; sapagka't walang tumulong.

12 Niligid ako ng maraming toro; mga malakas na toro ng Basan ay kumulong sa akin.

13 Sila'y magbubuka sa akin ng kanilang bibig, na gaya ng sumasakmal at umuungal na leon.

14 Ako'y nabuhos na parang tubig, at lahat ng aking mga buto ay nangapapalinsad: ang aking puso ay parang pagkit; natutunaw ito sa loob ko.

15 Ang aking kalakasan ay natuyo na parang bibinga; at ang aking dila ay dumidikit sa aking ngalangala; at dinala mo ako sa alabok ng kamatayan.

16 Sapagka't niligid ako ng mga aso: kinulong ako ng pulutong ng mga manggagawa ng masama; binutasan nila ang aking mga kamay at ang aking mga paa.

17 Aking maisasaysay ang lahat ng aking mga buto; kanilang minamasdan, at pinapansin ako:

18 Hinapak nila ang aking mga kasuutan sa gitna nila, at kanilang pinagsapalaran ang aking kasuutan.

19 Nguni't huwag kang lumayo, Oh Panginoon: Oh ikaw na aking saklolo, magmadali kang tulungan mo ako.

20 Iligtas mo ang aking kaluluwa sa tabak; ang aking minamahal sa kapangyarihan ng aso.

21 Iligtas mo ako sa bibig ng leon; Oo, mula sa mga sungay ng torong gubat ay sinagot mo ako.

22 Aking ipahahayag ang iyong pangalan sa aking mga kapatid: sa gitna ng kapulungan ay pupurihin kita.

23 Kayong nangatatakot sa Panginoon ay magsipuri sa kaniya: kayong lahat na binhi ni Jacob ay lumuwalhati sa kaniya; at magsitayong may takot sa kaniya, kayong lahat na binhi ni Israel.

24 Sapagka't hindi niya hinamak o pinagtaniman man ang kadalamhatian ng nagdadalamhati; ni ikinubli man niya ang kaniyang mukha sa kaniya; kundi nang siya'y dumaing sa kaniya, ay kaniyang dininig.

25 Sa iyo nanggagaling ang pagpuri sa akin sa dakilang kapisanan: aking tutuparin ang aking mga panata sa harap nila na nangatatakot sa kaniya.

26 Ang maamo ay kakain at mabubusog: kanilang pupurihin ang Panginoon na humanap sa kaniya; mabuhay nawa ang iyong puso magpakailan man.

27 Lahat ng mga wakas ng lupa ay makakaalaala, at magsisipanumbalik sa Panginoon: at lahat ng mga angkan ng mga bansa ay magsisisamba sa harap mo.

28 Sapagka't ang kaharian ay sa Panginoon: at siya ang puno sa mga bansa.

29 Lahat na matataba sa lupa ay magsisikain, at magsisisamba: silang lahat na nagsisibaba sa alabok ay magsisiyukod sa harap niya, sa makatuwid baga'y ang hindi makapagingat na buhay ng kaniyang kaluluwa.

30 Isang binhi ay maglilingkod sa kaniya, sasaysayin ang Panginoon sa susunod na salin ng lahi,

31 Sila'y magsisiparoon at mangaghahayag ng kaniyang katuwiran, sa bayan na ipanganganak ay ibabalita, yaong kaniyang ginawa.

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.

22 (A)My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
    Why are you so (B)far from saving me, from the words of my (C)groaning?
O my God, I cry by (D)day, but you do not answer,
    and by night, but I find no rest.

Yet you are (E)holy,
    (F)enthroned on (G)the praises[a] of Israel.
In you our fathers trusted;
    they trusted, and you delivered them.
To you they (H)cried and were rescued;
    in you they (I)trusted and were not put to shame.

But I am (J)a worm and not a man,
    (K)scorned by mankind and (L)despised by the people.
All who see me (M)mock me;
    they make mouths at me; they (N)wag their heads;
(O)“He trusts in the Lord; let him (P)deliver him;
    let him rescue him, for he (Q)delights in him!”

Yet you are he who (R)took me from the womb;
    you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
10 On you was I cast from my birth,
    and from (S)my mother's womb you have been my God.
11 Be not (T)far from me,
    for trouble is near,
    and there is (U)none to help.

12 Many bulls encompass me;
    (V)strong bulls of (W)Bashan surround me;
13 they (X)open wide their mouths at me,
    like a ravening and roaring lion.

14 I am (Y)poured out like water,
    and all my bones are (Z)out of joint;
my (AA)heart is like (AB)wax;
    it is melted within my breast;
15 my strength is (AC)dried up like a potsherd,
    and my (AD)tongue sticks to my jaws;
    you lay me in the dust of death.

16 For (AE)dogs encompass me;
    a company of evildoers (AF)encircles me;
they have (AG)pierced my hands and feet[b]
17 I can count all my bones—
they (AH)stare and gloat over me;
18 (AI)they divide my garments among them,
    and for my clothing they cast lots.

19 But you, O Lord, (AJ)do not be far off!
    O you my help, (AK)come quickly to my aid!
20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
    my precious life from the power of (AL)the dog!
21     Save me from (AM)the mouth of the lion!
You have rescued[c] me from the horns of (AN)the wild oxen!

22 (AO)I will tell of your name to my (AP)brothers;
    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
23 You who (AQ)fear the Lord, praise him!
    All you offspring of Jacob, (AR)glorify him,
    and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
24 For he has not despised or abhorred
    the affliction of (AS)the afflicted,
and he has not (AT)hidden his face from him,
    but has heard, when he (AU)cried to him.

25 From you comes my praise in the great (AV)congregation;
    my (AW)vows I will (AX)perform before those who fear him.
26 (AY)The afflicted[d] shall (AZ)eat and be satisfied;
    those who seek him shall praise the Lord!
    May your hearts (BA)live forever!

27 All (BB)the ends of the earth shall remember
    and turn to the Lord,
and all (BC)the families of the nations
    shall worship before you.
28 For (BD)kingship belongs to the Lord,
    and he rules over the nations.

29 All (BE)the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
    before him shall (BF)bow all who go down to the dust,
    even the one who could not (BG)keep himself alive.
30 Posterity shall serve him;
    it shall be told of the Lord to the coming (BH)generation;
31 they shall (BI)come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet (BJ)unborn,
    that he has done it.

“He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
    “let the Lord rescue him.(R)

    people stare(AO) and gloat over me.(AP)
18 They divide my clothes among them
    and cast lots(AQ) for my garment.(AR)

19 But you, Lord, do not be far from me.(AS)
    You are my strength;(AT) come quickly(AU) to help me.(AV)
20 Deliver me from the sword,(AW)
    my precious life(AX) from the power of the dogs.(AY)
21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;(AZ)
    save me from the horns of the wild oxen.(BA)

22 I will declare your name to my people;
    in the assembly(BB) I will praise you.(BC)
23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!(BD)
    All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!(BE)
    Revere him,(BF) all you descendants of Israel!
24 For he has not despised(BG) or scorned
    the suffering of the afflicted one;(BH)
he has not hidden his face(BI) from him
    but has listened to his cry for help.(BJ)

25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;(BK)
    before those who fear you[f] I will fulfill my vows.(BL)
26 The poor will eat(BM) and be satisfied;

    those who cannot keep themselves alive.(BU)
30 Posterity(BV) will serve him;
    future generations(BW) will be told about the Lord.

    declaring to a people yet unborn:(BY)
