New Living Translation

1For the director of music. To the tune of "The Doe of the Morning." A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?

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

2My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find 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.

3Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises.

3Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

4In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them.

4Our ancestors trusted in you, and you rescued them.

5To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame.

5They cried out to you and were saved. They trusted in you and were never disgraced.

6But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.

6But I am a worm and not a man. I am scorned and despised by all!

7All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads.

7Everyone who sees me mocks me. They sneer and shake their heads, saying,

8"He trusts in the LORD," they say, "let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him."

8“Is this the one who relies on the LORD? Then let the LORD save him! If the LORD loves him so much, let the LORD rescue him!”

9Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even 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.

10From birth I was cast on you; from my mother's womb you have been my God.

10I was thrust into your arms at my birth. You have been my God from the moment I was born.

11Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.

11Do not stay so far from me, for trouble is near, and no one else can help me.

12Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

12My enemies surround me like a herd of bulls; fierce bulls of Bashan have hemmed me in!

13Roaring lions that tear their prey open their mouths wide against me.

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 out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted 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 mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.

15My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead.

16Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet.

16My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

17All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me.

17I can count all my bones. My enemies stare at me and gloat.

18They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.

18They divide my garments among themselves and throw dice for my clothing.

19But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me.

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

20Deliver me from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs.

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

21Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen.

21Snatch me from the lion’s jaws and from the horns of these wild oxen.

22I will declare your name to my people; in the assembly I will praise you.

22I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people.

23You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!

23Praise the LORD, all you who fear him! Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel!

24For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.

24For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help.

25From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows.

25I will praise you in the great assembly. I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who worship you.

26The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise him-- may your hearts live forever!

26The poor will eat and be satisfied. All who seek the LORD will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.

27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him,

27The whole earth will acknowledge the LORD and return to him. All the families of the nations will bow down before him.

28for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations.

28For royal power belongs to the LORD. He rules all the nations.

29All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him-- those who cannot keep themselves alive.

29Let the rich of the earth feast and worship. Bow before him, all who are mortal, all whose lives will end as dust.

30Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord.

30Our children will also serve him. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord.

31They will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!

31His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything he has done.
