For the music director; upon ^[a]Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.

22 ^(A)My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
^(B)Far from my ^[b]help are the words of my ^[c]^(C)groaning.
²My God, I ^(D)cry out by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but ^[d]I have no rest.
³Yet ^(E)You are holy,
You who ^[e]are enthroned upon ^(F)the praises of Israel.
⁴In You our fathers ^(G)trusted;
They trusted and You ^(H)rescued them.
⁵To You they cried out and they fled to safety;
^(I)In You they trusted and were not ^[f]disappointed.

New American Standard Bible

²²I will ^(A)proclaim Your name to my brothers;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
²³^(B)You who fear the Lord, praise Him;
All you ^[a]descendants of Jacob, ^(C)glorify Him,
And ^(D)stand in awe of Him, all you ^[b]descendants of Israel.
²⁴For He has ^(E)not despised nor scorned the suffering of the afflicted;
Nor has He ^(F)hidden His face from him;
But ^(G)when he cried to Him for help, He heard.
