1For the choir director: according to "The Deer of the Dawn." A Davidic psalm. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from my deliverance and from my words of groaning?

1My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help?

2My God, I cry by day, but You do not answer, by night, yet I have no rest.

2Every day I call to you, my God, but you do not answer. Every night I lift my voice, but I find no relief.

9You took me from the womb, making me secure while at my mother's breast.

9Yet you brought me safely from my mother’s womb and led me to trust you at my mother’s breast.

13Like lions they open their jaws against me, roaring and tearing into their prey.

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

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

15My strength is dried up like baked clay; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You put me into the dust of death.

19O LORD, do not stay far away! You are my strength; come quickly to my aid!

20Deliver my life from the sword, my only life from the power of these dogs.

20Save me from the sword; spare my precious life from these dogs.

21Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen.
